Body
Administration Recommendation
Administration supports the proposed motion.
Purpose
This Memorandum of Understanding sets out the terms and understanding between Parkland County and the Village of Wabamun to allow for the construction and operation of a fire hall located in the Village of Wabamun, but owned by Parkland County.
Summary
Parkland County has been researching potential locations for a West Central Fire Station. In discussions with the Village of Wabamun over the past couple of months Parkland County has come to an agreement about construction of a fire hall within the Village of Wabamun. Parkland County has agreed to purchase the identified lands for $10.00. Since we are saving substantial land costs, Parkland County agrees to pay demolition costs of the current arena and tennis courts, including removal of the materials from demolition. The cost to undertake this demolition is estimated at $250,000. Administration will be requesting that Council approve demolition funds from County Facilities Restricted Surplus. Demolition would take place in 2019 and construction would commence in 2020, with an estimated 18 month construction window.
