Council approved Fire Station #2 building plans and bidding with one dissent (7–1)

Council minutes from the Aug. 25 meeting in the packet record Fire Chief Tony Burgard and designer comments about Fire Station #2. The proposed concept is an 8,000 square‑foot single‑story slab‑on‑grade pre‑engineered metal building; the bid will request two alternates (adding a third apparatus bay and a wing wall). The Plan and staff recommended approval to proceed to bidding.

The minutes record a motion by Alderperson Rusniak, seconded by Alderperson Kirley, approving plans and moving forward with bidding; the motion "MOTION CARRIED 7‑1." The packet quotes design discussion that the concept "is a single‑story slab on grade pre‑engineered metal building facility and will be 8,000 square feet." That recorded approval advances the project into the public bidding stage and signals the Council’s endorsement of schematic plans and alternates in the packet.

The minutes do not include contract awards or construction start dates; those steps will follow the bidding and procurement process once bids are received and reviewed.
