DATE: June 23rd, 1980
SUBJECT: Resolution #F-101-80
That the Orono Hydro Electric Building be evaluated
and put up for sale."
In January the Fire Chief put forth a proposal to turn the former Hydro
Electric Building into a fire station for Ward 3. The Community Services
Committee referred this proposal to the Finance Committee and the Town Manager
for consideration.
The Fire Marshal's office was contacted in February requesting they
make an inspection of the Building to ascertain if it would be suitable
for a replacement fire station. This inspection was made on June 4th,
1980 and a copy of the letter received from the Fire Marshal's office
is attached for your infornation.
Staff have also taken preliminary steps to have the Building evaluated
and put up for sale (survey of property has been completed by M. Brown
O.L.S. ).
We would respectfully request Committee to give direction on which
direction they wish staff to continue with respect to this particular
property.

Re: Fire Station - Orno
Dear Mr. Guiler:
Further to our meeting of June 4th, 1980, with yourself,
the Mayor and the Fire Chief, please be advised that the
proposed former Hydro Building would be suitable for a
replacement fire station for the Orno district.
I would suggest the following renovations be made which are
as follows;
(1) at least 2 apparatus bays be installed with the doors
being not less than 13' by 131 ,
(2) the present office space at the front of the building
be utilized to accommodate office space for the Fire
Department Officers of the area, training and meeting
room, and communications room,
(3) hose drying facilities be provided,
(4) a shower be installed for the fire fighters,
and, any additional renovations as seen fit by the Fire
Chief.
Hoping this will be of benefit to you, and if, in the future,
you need further assistance, please feel free to call me.
Yours very truly,
Norm J. Atkins,
