PROJECT BACKGROUND

How did we get here?

• Several years ago we needed to address the

replacement of Fire station 2 for 2020.

– We currently rent the bottom floor of the Civic Centre (Fire Station 2) to KV Fire Department Inc. – In 2016 Council gave notice to the Fire Board that we would not be entering into a new rental agreement when the current one expired in 2020 – Plans at the time identified the Utility Department would be placed in the bottom of the Civic Centre and the 2nd floor would remain as the Civic Centre rental space

Options

– Several options were considered but a Needs Analysis identified core items that would need to be addressed with any decision:

• A dedicated Quispamsis Fire Station (near the current

geographic location)

• A new location for the Utility Dept (was planned for the Civic

Centre location)

• An emergency comfort center- currently the Civic Centre is

the designated location and has dedicated back up power

• Public rental space similar to what is provided at the Civic

Centre

Path Forward

• Through much discussion and negotiation Council landed on a plan

to:

– Sell the Civic Centre to the KVFire Department Inc. with the Board renovating the facility to a 3 bay facility – Build a new Utility building – Renovate the Meenan’s Cove Beachouse and install back up power to be a comfort center in case of an emergency and to replace the Civic Centre rental space

• This plan is the similar cost as building a brand new Fire Station and

renovating the Civic Centre for the Utility Department

• Major difference between plans: this plan sees a portion of the

money invested in a park and building that is used by the public. It also addresses issues that would be future costs to the Municipality (septic and playground has outlived life expectancy)
