Finance Public Hearing

On Tuesday, February 6, 2024, City Council approved contracts for construction of the new Fire Station 2 totaling $24.1 million. This increased the total project budget to $47.3 million. To date, only $39 million of general obligation bonds have been authorized in debt financing to purchase the property for the new Fire Station 2 site and begin design. To finance the increase in the total project budget after construction bids were received, authorization to issue additional general obligation bonds in the amount up to $8.3 million is sought.
