SUBJECT: Remodeling of 217 W. Elm DATE: November 10, 1990
and Public Safety Building
PREPARED BY: Fire Chief
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve a special
allocation in the amount of 8 28,586.00 so
that the Public Works department may prepare
plans and specifications for this project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: With the acquisition of the house located
at 217 W. Elm Street the opportunity was presented to relieve some
of the crowded working conditions in the Police Department and in
the Fire Prevention Bureau. The most logical movement of
personnel was to place the Fire Pr,-vention Bureau and the Fire
Training Officer in the house at 217 W. Elm and move the Detective
Division into what is now the Fire Prevention Bureau. Such
movement of personnel will provide both Departments with more work
space and provide relief from their crowded working conditions and
lack of proper work space. Examples of these conditions are five
detectives working out of an office that measures 11.5 feet by 17
feet, and a Fire Prevention Bureau with no room to meet privately
with those in the construction trades, businessmen and the general
public nor a place to spread out construction plans for plan
checking.
Dennis Callahan and St -,/e Raddigan have provided cost estimates of
all work required for the remodeling of the current Fire
Preventicn Bureau area and the house at 217 W. Elm. These
estimates include the followiny:
Remodeling of 217 W. Elm ................ $10.945.00
