| Old Fire House facility |
The Parks and Recreation Department, with support from Stepherson & Associates ($115,000) is launching a community engagement process to shape a recommendation for City Council regarding the future of the Old Fire House facility.
At the conclusion of this community engagement process, Council will receive a recommendation from the Stakeholder Group via Focus Group to help guide the decision on the future of the Old Fire House. The Stakeholder Group will evaluate options and recommend either a renovation of the existing facility or a rebuild (location TBD). The final report will summarize the rationale for the recommendation, highlight key community priorities, and provide Council with insight into the benefits, challenges, and trade-offs of each option to support an informed decision.

Comment: The memo quoted cost for the Stepherson & Associates work as $115,00. This is obviously a typo. The final decision is expected by Council late 2026 after 9 months of deliberation, engagement, outreach and study. BY
Cost for consultants was: $115,000 (engagement/reach out) and $124,600 (Stakeholders and focus groups.) Total cost not counting extensive staff labor was $259,600.
