RECOMMENDATION :

BACKGROUND & COMMENTS:
——

The ‘request for the 1986 budget was for paving of Number 1 Fire Hall parking
lot for use as a training area, and a bandshell drafting pit.

For budget purposes, a ‘ballpark' figure of $10,000.00 was given for paving
-the training area. and $7,000.00 for the bandshell drafting pit, for a total

' - ef $173,000.00.

During the winter of 1985 - 1986, the blacktop in front of the truck bays
deteriorated badly, then in April 1986 the main water service to the fire
hall that travels under the area broke and had to be replaced. Prior to
this, the sidewalk to the main entrance of the fire hall, that was already
in disrepair, was broken by the roofers and had to be removed.

When looking at the overall picture, it became more of a priority to have
the area in front of the truck bays and offices paved at the same time as
the training area, than having the bandshell drafting pit.

It seemed reasonable to me that if the large training area cost $10,000.00
to pave, then the area in front of the truck bays and offices could be done
for $7,000.00.
