OUTCOMES:
The study will provide the City with a clear understanding of whether Fire Station 11 should be renovated or rebuilt on its existing site, informed by the building’s current condition and operational needs identified through the Facilities Condition Assessment, the Fire Functional Plan, and the Capital Facilities Plan. It will deliver site and facility assessments, feasibility analyses, and budget-level cost estimates that represent the logical next step in planning-supporting informed decision-making and setting the foundation for future capital budgeting.

Time Constraints:
The feasibility study must be completed before the end of 2026 so that its findings can be incorporated into facility and capital planning efforts. Obtaining this information early ensures the City bases future budgeting on accurate assumptions, clear understanding of site and operational constraints, and well-developed planning-level cost estimates.
ANTICIPATED RESULT IF NOT APPROVED:
Without this study, the City will lack critical feasibility and cost information needed to make informed decisions regarding the long-term future of Fire Station 11. This may lead to inaccurate budgeting, delayed planning, and continued uncertainty around facility condition, operational viability, and long-term service continuity.
