Denison seems like the only one that is thinking here. Maybe there is more to it or maybe it just sounds like a nice idea to have two faciliites.

It doesn't make any difference how they split up the depts. and buildings. Just get on with it, let the professionals in the depts. manage the needs and then make sure the Council holds everyone involved to those exact budgets. Forget about public opinion and blog heresay.

Fire Department operate out of cold storage? Who thought that one up?

I thought it was the fire department that really had issues with the current space and that it's harder to meet all of their needs in the current building. Why then is it that we're moving the police to a new building and leaving the fire dept. in the old building???

I don't believe that economic benefits should be deciding factor especially for fire. Fire response time and access is far more important than build size or co-location with police. You can put a police station and jail anywhere as police on on patrol throughout the city. Fire are not and respond currently from the heart of the city which just makes sense.

I noticed that Locally Grown has posted threads regarding the ongoing discussion of relocating the liquor store and ongoing consideration of remodeling city hall. I thought it was pretty obvious that both of these construction projects were scrapped.

The folks over there jumped on the band wagon and started railing on city hall. Until the obvious was pointed out to Griff, that the information he based both of these threads on was from 2007.

With all his and his cronies criticism of the news and it's mistakes, how can he make such an irresponsible mistake and try to mislead people like that? He didn't even discover the mistake himself, one of his bloggers dug it up. Will he apologize to city hall?? Will anyone over there question why he's doing this?

I agree with KevinB. Who thought of putting the fire trucks (water??) in a cold storage facility (ice??) Good job!
