Chief: new fire station site work underway; completion hoped by Labor Day 2027
Summary
Chief Scott reported that grading and fill are underway at the new fire station site, geotechnical work and a pre‑construction meeting are next steps, and the team hopes for completion around Labor Day 2027 (timeline described as approximate).
Chief Scott updated council on progress at the new fire station and adjacent park. He said the city has a permit for grubbing and ground work, fill is being brought in to raise the site elevation (to reduce flooding risk), geotechnical work (geopiers) will start the following week, and a pre‑construction meeting is being scheduled.
When asked about completion timing, Chief Scott said the contractor's schedule suggests about a one‑year timeline once work begins and stated, "I'm hoping it'll be done by Labor Day of next year," while cautioning the date was not guaranteed. Council and staff discussed a future groundbreaking and open house once site work is complete.
