Discussion followed: the City could use the space for parking and open it up for training; that issue was discussed with the Fire Dept., why not use it for Fire Dept. vehicles and the Assistant Fire Chief said no; the City paid $175,000 for the house; if the City does not need it, put it back on the tax rolls; the house was purchased to develop that area; the plan was to demolish the fire station and move it to North Canal; hold on to the house until Council decides what to do with the fire station; the only dilemma to the City Manager is that of economics, because the fire station can't be raised for four years, meanwhile there are constant repairs on that and other obsolete fire houses; what other options are available in moving the station, for it is more available for the downtown areas; there are many properties that meet response time and service; North Canal is ideal for a location, however, fire houses are not inexpensive to build; the Corpora- tion Yard site is not large enough to house a fire station and the City Manager will have to negotiate purchase of more land from Kaiser; City Manager does not think there is enough money from the sale of the two properties to buy more land and build a fire station; the $175,000 value of the house was due to the single family home on the site and not due to the footage of the lot; the fire training only requires open ground and is done at 4:00 p.m. in the afternoon; the only draw back to the purchase of more Kaiser land is dollars; staff should try to determine the potential value of the fire house site 8/14/96 Page 2 ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS Discussion of options for future use of 205 Baden and what it would cost for a new building at the Avenue - Continued.
