From the meeting
Council discussion focused on the fire station project and the city's stated $2 million debt capacity allocation. Middleton said the allocation had not changed for over five years and that a more expensive station would require additional funds. He was instructed to contact ISG with what a $2 million new station would look like, making this a live planning item with a defined budget ceiling and design scoping step.
