Sisk: <br /> <br />Nelson: <br /> <br />Sisk: <br /> <br />Nelson: <br /> <br />right now is only a temporary one. <br />It's not ideal from a standpoint of <br />response time. I don't feel that <br />being located across from a Middle <br />School is appropriate place for an <br />ambulance station. We have not <br />negotiated on this at all. We're <br />just trying to move it into the <br />realm of feasibility. From our <br />standpoint we really would prefer <br />not to have any ownership or equity <br />position or anything like this. Our <br />intent would be to look at a lease <br />and to have a lease arrangement that <br />matched the period of our contract. <br />It's in the interest of the <br />community to have this facility. <br />Regardless of who is occupying it, <br />the facility is necessary and it's <br />an ideal, safe location to have. <br /> <br />You're suggesting that if the <br />facility is not approved, A-1 <br />Ambulance might not be in a position <br />to go elsewhere and build a facility <br />of equal nature? <br /> <br />Yes. Our concern is that we need a <br />facility that's in a good location <br />from a response time view point. We <br />would have to settle for a less <br />ideal spot and the concern is that <br />we need a structure that can house <br />crews, and the ambulance, and be in <br />a place that won't be disruptive in <br />the neighborhood. The combination <br />of all of those things really <br />constrains the options that we've <br />got. <br /> <br />What are the advantages to the City <br />in doing this? What are the <br />advantages to the citizens given the <br />fact that you're asking for what is <br />quasi-public property to be donated <br />to you? I assume you're private <br />enterprise. <br /> <br />I don't imagine anybody's going to <br />donate anything. We'll simply use <br />that space for a fee. <br /> <br />6 <br /> <br /> <br />
