EDINA CITY COUNCIL HELD AT
EDINA FIRE STATION #1
OCTOBER 17,2006
5:00 P.M.
ROLLCALL Answering rollcall were Members, Hulbert, Swenson, and Mayor Pro tem Housh.
Member Masica and Mayor Hovland were absent.
Mayor Pro tem Housh said the purpose of the special work session was to receive information
from Gary Hay, Hay Dobbs Architects about different options to remodel or rebuild Fire
Station No. 1 and receive information about estimated costs of each option.
Mr. Hay reviewed the reasons Fire Station #1 needed to be updated. He presented three
options as follows:
1. Demolish the living quarters and office space of the station leaving the apparatus
portion of the station and rebuild living quarters and office space around the
existing apparatus space at a cost of approximately$4,247,000.
2. Demolish the living quarters and office space of the station and significantly
modify the apparatus floor rebuilding a larger addition onto the apparatus space
at a cost of approximately$5,149,000.
3. Demolish the entire station and rebuild on the same site a new station for a cost
of approximately$5,474,000.
The Council reviewed with Mr. Hay,Chief Scheerer and Manager Hughes the pros and cons of
each option as well as preliminary designs for each. Following their review and discussion,
their consensus was a total rebuild would make the most efficient use of property and tax
dollars. Mr. Hughes said the staff will put together more detailed information on financing
options and present them in conjunction with the Capital Improvement Program.
Mayor Pro tem Housh adjourned the meeting at 6:20 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
