Fire Substation - Cost Estimates - Councilmember Swenson

of the Oak Park Heights community due to the distance of trip
from the Bayport fire station. He also noted the Highway 36
reconstruction would slow response time from Bayport. For these

$500,000.00 to build a fire substation and provide the initial
equipment. Councilmember Schaaf, seconded by Swenson, moved to
