MINUTES <br />City Council <br />January 4, 1990 <br />provided for such a unit. <br />Scalze stated that it was her feeling that a great deal <br />of square footage was allocated to hallways and the <br />vestibule. <br />Mickelberq pointed out that the drawing before the <br />Council was not a floor plan, but just a schematic for <br />how the fire station could be organized. <br />Don Nadeau pointed out that an elevator would be <br />necessary in a two-story station. <br />Mickelberg replied that an elevator would not be <br />required. <br />Fahey pointed out that the Council needs to come up <br />with an estimated cost of the project so that the <br />necessary bonding amount can be determined. The <br />Council needs to call for the bond sale at the January <br />10th Council meeting, since it is the recommendation of <br />Bond Counsel that the City close on the bond by <br />February 12th. <br />Fahey stated that from discussion, it does not appear <br />that it will be possible to reduce the size of the <br />proposed fire station significantly. <br />Kroos agreed, pointing out that the City should not <br />sacrifice the functional aspects of the station, <br />however, it may be possible to trim the amount of <br />circulation area and bathroom size. <br />Scalze asked if it was necessary to provide training <br />areas large enough to accommodate 75 to 80 people, <br />asking what Mendota Heights did to accommodate training <br />sessions at their station. <br />Frank Graczyk stated that Mendota Heights held their <br />training sessions during the summer months and moved <br />their equipment out and held the sessions in the <br />apparatus bays. <br />Boss reported that it was Little Canada's duty to <br />supply training areas as part of their mutual aid <br />agreements. <br />Nadeau stated that the station is proposed at one of <br />the most significant corners in the City and should be <br />a station that the City can be proud of. <br />Page 6 <br />
