Item No. 25 <br />memorandum <br />TO: Mayor & City Council <br />FROM: John Godwin, City Manager <br />SUBJECT: LAND FOR REPLACEMENT EMS STATION <br />DATE: June 15, 2015 <br />BACKGROUND: For at least three years we have discussed and looked for a site for a new <br />EMS station to serve the northwest quadrant of the county. The new station will replace the one <br />currently located inside the hospital. Relocation will allow us to move farther west, provide <br />better facilities for our staff, and still stay close to the loop for quick ingress and egress. The <br />council budgeted for land acquisition in the 2014 -15 budget, and discussed this matter in <br />executive session several months ago. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: We have negotiated a price for purchase of the property previously <br />discussed, on 19th NW just above the loop. A survey has been completed of the site, so we now <br />need to proceed with the purchase, followed by platting of the property. <br />BUDGET: The $15,000 is well within budgeted funds. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Authorize acquisition of land, and execution of any and all closing <br />documents by the city manager. <br />
