City Manager Proposes Sands Dorsey Building Plan
City Manager Doug Powers presented a plan to dispose of the Sands Dorsey ruin downtown and consolidate fire and EMS facilities on the site. He outlined funding options from federal and state grants while noting no committee commitment yet. The walking tour showed three downtown facilities, two over 50 years old, and a 1984 EMS building with limited space for operations. The fire chief offices and central dispatch are two doors east of City Hall in one building.
