mold and the demolition of the offices and storage rooms in the basement. The drains were cleaned, but the problem of water backing up in the basement persists as a result of improper installation. The cost to properly repair the drain system in the basement is prohibitive. The location and the cause of the current mold problem differs from the 2001 problems in the basement. This mold is in the ceiling and stems from the roof leaking water. Repairing the mold damage and replacing the roof (which it at the end of its useful life) will cost $250,0{)0- $350,000. hi addition to the mold issue and roof replacement at Station 1, a11 three fire stations have outstandingmaintenance issues that are estimated will cost $1,600,000. Before recommending to the council to spend the money necessary to make repair to Station 1 and to address current maintenance issues at a11 three fire stations, it may be appropriate to evaluate the future fire protection needs of the City in the conte� of: 1. Number of fire stations needed. 2. Best location for fire stations now that Roseville is fully developed. 3. Apparatus & equipment needed. 4. Staffing needed. To accomplish this would require the expertise of a public safety consulting firm to holistically evaluate future emergency services (fire & EMS) delivery models for in the City of Roseville. An evaluation of this nature would be consistent with the goals of Imagine Roseville 2025, which, in part, state: "Provide the appropriate number and location of fire, police, and emergency medical facilities and equipmentto meet community needs." An evaluation of this nature would also accomplish one of the fire department's top seven priorities identified in the Roseville Fire Department Strategic Plan (June 2006): "Priority 6: Maximize the department's response efficiency and effectivenessby evaluatingthe challenges and opportunities of relocating and reducing the number of fire stations and fire engines to serve the city." At the April 16,2007 Council Study Session, the fire department will be making a presentation and engaging the Council in a discussion on: 1. The condition of a11 three fire stations; 2. The current prable�s at Fire Station # 1; 3. Fire depaz-�ment operational changes li-oni 1977 to 2007 (see Appendix A); 4. Opportunities to look at other service delivery models. Questions to he explored will include: 1. Given the age and outstanding maintenance issues of Fire Station �]� is it feasible to invest funds into the needed repairs? 2. Would the city benefit from an evaluation of future emergency services (fire-EMS) delivery models before committing resources to repairs and maintenance of the fire stations in their current configuration? Among the options for consideration, we will discuss:
