2 <br />Proposition 1 <br />FIRE STATION NO. 2 AND EQUIPMENT <br />Cost: $1,885,000 <br />Schedule: 2001 <br />The rapid growth and development in Saginaw has increased the qeed to construct and equip a <br />second fire station. A second station wtll allow our Fire Departihâ–ºent to continue to provide <br />excellent service with quick response times to all areas of the City. The proposed station would 6e <br />built on property the City already owns on Basswood Boulevard near Redding Drive. This <br />Iocation will provide quicker access to the new schools, the indusbrial section, and the rapidly <br />growing residential area. A new fire truck is needed to replace a fifaeen-year-old fire engine that <br />would be placed in reserve. Six additional firefighters will be hired to staff the new station. <br />Proposition 2 <br />LIBRARY EXPANSION <br />Cost: $1,020,000 <br />Schedule: 2001 <br />Use of the City Library has increased dramatically over the last few ypars. Each month the library <br />has over 7,200 patron visits and circulates nearly 7,000 pieces df material. These numbers <br />continue to grow as new families move into over 400 new homes being built in Saginaw each year. <br />Voter approval of this proposition would allow us to double the size of the existing building, <br />renovate the existing space and provide room for computer work areas, reading areas, an <br />expanded children's area, a multi-purpose room for programs and much needed shelf space. <br />
