DISCUSSION Transfer Bond Funds The 1986 Capital Improvements Program included $750,000 for the construction of a fire station in far west Fort Worth Because the identified area for the fire station never fully developed, only $1.10,000 of the $750,000 was soleL.~ur-gently, the $110,000 is still in bond funds and has not been spent. ,-- The Fire Department has determined that Station No 37 is the best location for the headquarters of the newly created sixth battalion Adding a headquarters to Station No 37 increases the funding level necessary for construction Using the $110,000 in bond funds will mitigate the supplemental appropriation needed from the General Fund Supplemental Appropriation from General Fund The cost is $409,518 for construction of Fire Station No 37 The Transportation and Public Works Department (T/PW) estimates that another $83,200 will be necessary to fund the following associated project costs.

Award of Contract North Fort Worth development has progressed to the point that an additional fire station is needed to maintain acceptable response times. Currently there is no fire station between Station No. 31, located in the Park Glen area, and Station No 35, at the Alliance Airport, with a distance of ten miles between them While development of the area is proceeding, major infrastructure such as arterial streets have yet to be constructed, making final location for a permanent station difficult at this time. Station No 37 will be a temporary station built on Water Department land at the intersection of Ray White Road and Alta Vista Road, roughly half way between Station Nos. 31 and 35. The Water Department is planning to build a water storage tower at this site in about ten years, by which time the Fire Department will be able to make a more informed decision about locating Station No 37 on a permanent basis.
