Donald G. Poss, Blaine City Manager February 26, 1990 <br />Donald F. Pauley, Mounds View Clerk -Administrator Page 2 <br />Donald B. Busch, Spring Lake Park Clerk -Treasurer <br />Using the same cost distribution percentages aE contained in our 1990 <br />budget, the amount of the bond issue for each city would be as follows: <br />CITY <br />PERCENT <br />AMOUNT <br />BLAINE <br />67.60 <br />$1,859,000 <br />MOUNDS VIEW <br />20.85 <br />573,375 <br />SPRING LAKE PARK <br />_11.55 <br />317,625 <br />TOTAL <br />100.00 <br />$2,750,000 <br />If you people agree, we would like to have this issue included in the <br />General Election this Fall. We would also appreciate speedy action by the <br />respective councils to allow us ample time to organize and deliver our <br />promotional campaign. <br />Now to the additional items In the Capital Budget. <br />Station l/Administrative Offices <br />Station I originates back to 1944 with subsequent additions and repairs. <br />The initial apparatus bay was constructed by the firefighters. At the <br />present time, the ceiling height will not accommodate the newer apparatus <br />and given the condition of the exterior walls in the original section, I <br />would not recommend trying to increase the station height for doors. <br />As all of you know, our administrative offices are presently located in <br />Station 1. We had included a new administrative office building in our <br />budget, but because of constant recurring problems related co maintaining <br />our current station which has no crew quarters, inadequate floor drainage <br />system, inadequate ventilation system, inadequate electrical delivery <br />system, and walls/footings not designed for adding a second floor, we feel <br />the present station should be razed and a new station built which would <br />include administrative offices. <br />This might entail acquiring adjacent property and would require setback <br />variances from Spring Lake Park. Given the location of our volunteers <br />assigned to Statton I and travel distance to the three cities, the present <br />location is [he best. The present building has seen its best day - all of <br />us have certainly gotten our "money's -worth" out of it, Now it is time to <br />rebuild to include all the necessary items we need as well as amenities <br />for the volunteers. <br />
