LITTLE CANADA FIRE DEPARTMENT, INC. 440 LITTLE CANADA ROAD • LITTLE CANADA, MINNESOTA 55117 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Fahey and Members of the City Council FROM: Frank Graczyk, Fire Chief DATE: November 27, 1990 RE: Proposed Uses for the Fire Station Building A meeting was held by the Fire Department's Board of Directors on Monday, November 19, 1990 at 7:00 p.m. for the purpose of discussing the proposed uses for the old fire station building. Initially, it should be noted that the Fire Department's interest in the existing building at 440 Little Canada Road is related to the lower hall /kitchen area only. Thought may be given at some later date to keying the lower accesses and stairway access separately from that of the north entrance of the building. In light of the fact that the existing station was built by the Fire Department members and for the past 45 years the Fire Department has provided for the upkeep and maintenance, it was the consensus of the Board that we ask to remain as continuing custodians of the lower level. We will ask for the exclusive authority for its' scheduled use - -to include official Fire Department purposes and the approved personal use by it's membership. The Fire Department will continue to provide manpower to open the hall to City residents in the event of the need for a storm shelter. As in the past, our responsibility for that service is limited to that period beyond normal business hours. The lower level of the building will be made available to any City sponsored organization for group functions -- dependent upon it's availability as determined by our scheduling committee and the requesting group's agreement to the provisions for its use. Finally, it is recommended that we and the City initiate an official document that will transfer ownership of the building from the Fire Department to the City. Additionally, a formal agreement should be reached and spelled -out for the future stating the Fire Department's rights and responsibility in the use of the lower level. FG:kv Pagel es,q()
