FIRE HALL ADDITION
There was much discussion regarding the cost feasibility and practicality of the
two proposals for adding on to the City Hall, to the north and to the west.
It was Mayor McAllister's personal opinion that the addition to the west is not
the way to go for now. Chief Istvanovich felt that Kuusisto's cost estimate
was too high, and provided the Council with some costs that he had obtained,
which were considerably lower than the engineer's. The addition has been con-
sidered to allow for more meeting room, a shop area, additional storage, and
parking facility for the city truck.
