BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS
As discussed during the budget meetings, the Durham Regional Police will be vacating
their portion of the Police/Fire building sometime in 1986. In conversation with Deputy
Police Chief Robinson, he indicated that the new police station will be completed sometime
in June and at that time the move will take place.
In Staff opinion, it was felt that considering this time frame a report should be submitted
outlining the proposed Fire Department plans for this area.

FD - 17 - 2 - Cont'd.
The area suggested for Fire Department use is directly behind the Fire Chief' s and Secre-
tary's office wall . It is presently used for the Police lunch/meeting room and locker/-
shower room.
It is proposed that the lunch/meeting room area be converted to Fire Department general
office floor space, permitting our offices to be located on one floor area and away from
the present damp basement.
There are presently no shower facilities or change rooms for our firefighters, so the
existing police facilities will serve our requirements. The lack of shower facilities
has been an ongoing concern with the Fire Department and the Occupational Health and
Safety Committee. Because of potential exposure of firefighters, in the performance of
their duties, to hazardous materials and chemicals, provision should be in place to
)ermit firefighters to shower and change clothing before leaving the station, thus elimi-
nating any possibility of carrying contaminants on clothing home.
Attached are floor plans of the existing and proposed changes. Renovation costs would
include the construction of additional walls, doors, removal of an existing wall and
painting throughout, the paint being in extremely poor condition.
Estimated cost for the complete renovation is $3,000.00, considering that Fire Department
staff are used to provide the labour.
This additional office space would greatly improve the Fire Department' s office function
and give the Department the required shower/change room facilities.
Respectfully submitted,
J. j1dridge,
Fiief.
