2 <br />The BOCC set -aside $1.2M to create an Emergency Services Reserve Capital Project, which <br />was provided by the State's 911 funding source. This funding source is a one -time action by <br />the NC 911 Board. Station 1 is too large for EMS needs and experiences high operating costs <br />due to its age and size. The move from 1914 New Hope Church Road to 304 Revere Road will <br />result in improved service in Hillsborough and northern portions of Orange County. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: Initial estimations place refurbishment costs for the 304 Revere Road <br />site at $50,000, which is available in the Emergency Services Reserve Capital Project <br />established by the BOCC. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board: <br />1. Approve the ongoing plan as proposed by Emergency Services to strategically locate <br />EMS stations as call loads determine the need and resources provide; and <br />2. Authorize Emergency Services and Asset Management and Purchasing Services to <br />proceed with the immediate plan to refurbish the Revere Road site for an EMS station; <br />and <br />3. Authorize Asset Management and Purchasing Services to provide to the BOCC a plan to <br />divest 1914 New Hope Church Road following refurbishment of 304 Revere Road and re- <br />location by EMS; and <br />4. Authorize the continuation of the project contingent upon necessary permits and <br />approvals from the Town of Hillsborough; and <br />5. Approve funds up to $50,000 from the Emergency Services Reserve Capital Project. <br />The Financial Services Department will bring forward a budget amendment, as well as a <br />Capital Project Ordinance, for acceptance at an upcoming Board of Commissioners' <br />meeting. <br />
