3. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (File #233)
Mayor Dunin asked for public comment.
' Ken Schwartz made comments regarding some of-the proposed capital
improvement projects. He was concerned that. prior to going ahead with
Fire Station Removal, the Council look at the study that was performed by
the Arthur D. Little Co. He did not feel that the building needed to be
demolished, but that it could certainly be used for a variety of other
items, including looking at consolidating Fire Station #2 and other
recommended actions provided for in the study. He also felt that it was
important that Council put some monies aside for property acquisitions for
future civic center expansion. He felt that future expansion of the
Historical Museum would need this and that there were three key properties
in that area that should be obtained by the City. He also urged that
there be more of an effort by staff to get public .input on proposed
capital improvement projects. He felt that considering the level of
funding to be committed, it was not being given a great deal of
opportunity for public review.

Schwartz re the fire improvements.
