A presentation by North County Fire Protection District deputy fire chief Ed Sprague was not a voting item at the Oct. 28 NCFPD board meeting, but the board was supportive of the facility maintenance priorities recommended by Sprague and other NCFPD staff.
"We need to maintain these facilities in top condition," Sprague said.
NCFPD staff annually inspects all of the districts facilities and identifies any needed improvements or maintenance. Sprague, fire prevention specialist Gregg Holdridge, and captain Gary Nelson performed this years inspections on Oct. 8 and subsequently developed a priorities list based on health and safety issues, functional needs, staff well-being needs, and facility appearance. Each district facility was evaluated and an overall list was developed. The identified needs will be prioritized, and based on available funds bids will be obtained and repairs will be completed.
"Weve set aside the funds to take care of them this fiscal year to the best of our ability," Sprague said.
The NCFPD budget process includes a Stations and Grounds item for such work. The 2014-15 budget allocated $60,000 for Stations and Grounds, and approximately $40,000 will be available for the listed projects. Some maintenance and improvement tasks are beyond the scope of the firefighters and will require outside specialists while others may be performed by NCFPD staff with funding needed only for supplies. "The firefighters do a real good job of maintaining the facilities independently," Sprague said.
Many of the issues identified in the 2013 inspection were repaired as were some unanticipated situations such as mold remediation at Station 1 (Ivy Street), the five-year certification of the fire suppression sprinkler systems at Station 2 (Winterwarm) and Station 3 (Olive Hill) and at the fleet maintenance facility, and the installation of a ramp at the ball field meeting current Americans with Disabilities Act standards.
In addition to the mold remediation project which included the complete stripping and decontamination of the crew sleeping quarters and the replacement of bedframes, Station 1 work included sealing the floor with epoxy paint and replacing windows with dual-glazed vinyl windows for energy efficiency, and energy efficiency activities also included upgrading the stations fluorescent lighting and replacing the back ramp light with light-emitting diode illumination. Station 1 work following the 2013 recommendations also included painting the dormitory and servicing the heating and cooling system.
The past inspections have included all fire stations, the old shop, and the new shop. The 2014 inspections added the Scout hut and the surrounding yard, the ball field and related structures, the cell phone tower site and related structures, and the property adjacent to the cell towers. The repairs and improvements were categorized into minor repairs to be handled by the station crew, repairs which will require a contractor or other specialist, and improvements which will enhance a facilitys safety or functionality.
The new top priorities for Station 1 are repairing and repainting fascia and siding on the west side of the station and constructing individual rooms in the dormitory. The other identified Station 1 needs are repairing wall damage in the shower area, painting the apparatus room, repairing walls and painting the workout room, replacing the roof on the storage room behind the station, and reconnecting the station alerting speaker on the patio.

A Jefferson City man was given two years supervised probation for pleading guilty to a charge in connection with a roof repair scheme.
Craig Boes, 38, pleaded guilty to one count of misdemeanor stealing. He had been charged with felony stealing. He must alos complete 40 hours of community service.
Court documents show in July 2012 Boes agreed to fix a Jefferson City womans roof and he gave her an estimate of $6,670.
As of November 2013, Boes had not done any of the work, and he told authorities he knew he would not be able to pay the woman back.
This past February, the woman told authorities Boes still had not completed the job and she had to get an installment loan for $5,000 to get the work completed.
Boes said he bought materials for the job, costing $2,000, but never picked them up and blew another $2,400 on other things and didnt have anything to show for it.

CEDAR RAPIDS Two portions of a building that formerly housed The Gazette offices in downtown Cedar Rapids are being prepared for demolition.
Architect and developer Steve Emerson bought the building at 500 Third Ave. SE from The Gazette Company in 2012, Emerson said additions constructed in 1954 and 1969 likely will be demolished in late winter or early spring.
We need to see how it fits into a demolition schedule, Emerson said. It will come down at some point, but theres no rigid schedule.
Emerson said redevelopment options include additional parking or possibly downtown housing.
Initially it will likely be surface parking, but I have a housing development planned for that which is a fairly significant project, said Emerson, owner of Aspect Architecture. Im going to wait on that because theres a lot of other housing projects seeking grants from the state that are in the core downtown.
Im going to let those get open and absorbed before I would do anything on that just because I dont want to saturate the market and hurt everyones projects as well as my own.
Emerson previously demolished a three-story addition to the building that was constructed in 1985. The two older additions housed offices and The Gazettes printing press.

And a basketball season begins Friday night.
That sometimes joyous, sometimes frustrating, sometimes heartbreaking and always fun journey that is a basketball season will tip off Friday night when UTEP takes on Washington State in the Don Haskins Center. It is the first step in a long journey that will wind into March.
UTEP was 23-11 a year ago and Washington State was 10-21. The Miners defeated the Cougars 64-51 last December in Pullman. But the visitors have a new head coach, three returning starters and some talented additions. And, as every sports fan knows, this is not last year.
Ernie Kent, former head coach at St. Mary's and at Oregon, has taken over the Washington State program. He took Oregon to five NCAA Tournament appearances and reached the rarified air of the Elite Eight in 2002 and 2007.
"We'd like to think Ernie will run what he ran at Oregon," UTEP coach Tim Floyd said. "But who knows? It's been five years. But he is a terrific coach."
Floyd will begin his fifth season at UTEP and has an overall record of 409-232 in stops at Idaho, New Orleans, Iowa State and USC. He faced Kent a number of times when he was at USC and Kent was at Oregon. Floyd, the former Don Haskins assistant, is 81-52 after four seasons at UTEP. He has had 18 winning seasons in his 20 as a head coach.
Hopes are high this season for Floyd and these Miners. They received a trickling of votes in the Top 25 pre-season polls. The reality of it all begins Friday night.
"We know Washington State has a couple of all-league caliber guards and some strong inside play," Floyd said. "It's exciting for us to have a Pac-12 opponent here to open our season."
The Miners have a veteran team ... but a veteran team that will rely on an infusion of youth. A trio of seniors C.J. Cooper, Cedrick Lang and Julian Washburn are ready to begin their final season.
"My last first game," Cooper said, shaking his head and smiling. "It's gone by really fast. I remember my freshman year, getting ready to play my first game. I was a little nervous. But I was more excited than anything ... just excited to play my first college game."

UTEP men's basketball: Hopeful Miners open Friday vs. Washington State
Infrastructure upgrades, including a $2 million heating and cooling system, are among future plans Columbia State Community College officials presented to the Columbia City Council Thursday.
These improvements and the colleges accomplishments in the past year were the focus of a presentation given by president Janet Smith at Thursdays regular meeting of Columbia City Council.
The college has undergone heavy renovations and improvements over the past year and Smith said it is eying next to install a complete HVAC update to the Warf building, which is currently in the planning stage and will cost $2 million.
It has been three years in the process of obtaining the funds, well, its been longer than that so now we have enough to do the whole project and we will start as soon as we can get folks out after graduation, she said. And they will have to work very hard because weve got to get back in there in August for all of the new students that we expect.
Other projects the college is hoping to tackle in the next year include renovations of the library, Walters building and health services building. It also hopes to construct a new health sciences building.
Smith delved into other various campus programs, improvements and upgrades to facilities, including a $45,000 renovation to the Cherry Theatre, $133,000 renovation to Ledbetter Auditorium and a $2 million project to renovate Jones Student Center, which will have a ribbon cutting in the next few weeks.
Statues donated from former president Rebecca Hawkins have been another way Columbia State has worked to upgrade the look of the campus.
The key is a symbol the college has been using as a motivation point to students and the community as being vital to its development, Smith said.
We are a key to the lives of many individuals, we are a key to where they are going, were a key to our communities and to the economic development. We are also a key to the state achieving its goal and to increase the education level throughout the state, Smith said.
Smith also paid focus to the various clubs, organizations and civic groups that she said have helped encourage not only student involvement, but involvement from the community as well.
