HomeMy WebLinkAbout#10 - Fire Department Historical Display Project STAFF REPORT
DATE: November 19, 2024
CONSENT
TO: City Council
FROM: Dustin Kalis, Fire Chief
AGENDA ITEM: Approve Project Funding of Fire Department Historical Displays
REVIEWED BY: Nicole Miller, City Administrator
Dustin Kalis, Fire Chief
BACKGROUND:
With the consolidation of our two fire stations and the construction of the new City Center, the
construction project originally included project funding for various fire department historical
displays within the fire department areas of City Center. As the project continued, these historical
displays were eliminated from the project. The fire department historical display project is being
presented to complete these items that were unable to be completed within the original
construction project.
ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL:
Should the City Council approve the project funding for the fire department historical displays?
PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS:
The City Center project has provided the fire department a state-of-the-art facility that has greatly
improved the departments operations and response model. Since the project’s inception, one area
of concern from department staff was how we will incorporate our department rich history into our
new shared space.
The fire department historical display project will provide a combination of wall graphics,
photographs, artifacts displaying our departments history and an Honor Wall paying tribute our
charter members and all fire department staff serving 10 years or more. Portions of the displays will
allow for the change out of photographs and updated graphics when a refresh is needed.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Through originally included in the City Center project as a budgeted line item, this proposed project
has an increased scope. Total project cost is not to exceed $15,000. This project will not use any
general fund funding. The project will be funded through donations the Fire Department has
received in 2024 and the Lake Elmo Fire Department Equipment and Project Fund.
OPTION:
1) Approve the fire department historical display project.
2) Deny the fire department historical display project.
RECOMMENDATION:
If removed from the consent agenda:
“Motion to approve the fire department historical display project at a total project cost not to
exceed $15,000.”
