Council Member Loeffler reported on the recent Facilities Committee Meeting, noting discussion included the need to build two, new fire stations versus retrofitting, as well as the issue of the library and the next steps that should be taken. It was noted that modifications to the original expectations may need to be considered. Intersection improvements to various areas were also discussed, which the Committee was supportive of, and a full report will be coming back to the Council with recommendations.
