19 <br /> <br /> <br />Operational Impact: None. After construction, this system would be owned, operated and <br />maintained by the City of Mebane per an existing interlocal agreement amended in 2012. <br /> <br />FY2018-23 Recommended Capital Investment Plan <br />Policy Priorities <br />• Economic Development Water & Sewer Infrastructure - $145,000 (p. 75) <br />o Phase 3 – Under Interstate to Site Served by Rail <br />o Site Readiness <br />o Zoned Economic Development – Buckhorn EDB – 1 <br /> Light industrial <br /> 200 acres total <br /> Access improvements needed <br />o Construction FY2019-20 - $1.3 million <br /> <br />Commissioner Price asked if residential homes will be able to tap on. <br />Craig Benedict, Planning Director, said this is for undeveloped land, and the Gravelly <br />Hill lift station has been leveraged. He said there is not a lot of housing in this area, but <br />anyone could tie into the system once it is installed. <br /> Travis Myren resumed the presentation: <br /> <br />• EMS Substation with Solar Pilot - $1,500,000 (page 53) <br />Project Description/Justification: Funding in FY 2018-19 includes a stand-alone station in the <br />Efland area. This station will replace the existing Station 4 on Mt Willing Road in Efland. The <br />existing station is incapable of expansion and the cost of upfitting and bringing the station into <br />compliance under the state fire code would be more than the cost of the building itself. The <br />proposed new station will provide bays to house the ambulance and will be within 1 mile of the <br />existing station. Funding in FY 2018-19 also includes installing a solar photovoltaic (PV) <br />system on the roof of the new stand-alone station. Future EMS stations will be strategically <br />located in developing districts that are experiencing increasing call volume and service <br />demand. The architectural design of the stations will allow for one drive through bay (with <br />expansion for an additional drive through bay), secure storage for narcotics, a decontamination <br />area, equipment room with washer/dryer, sleeping quarters, training/conference room, office <br />area, restrooms and shower, and public area separate from the secure area of the crew <br />quarters. The cost of the colocation stations represents efficiencies gained from sharing of <br />kitchen, training, and other common areas. The operating costs of the co-located facilities will <br />also be shared. <br /> <br />FY 2018-19: Independent station in the Efland area with a solar photovoltaic (PV) system FY <br />2021-22: Co-Location with fire department to be determined <br />FY 2022-23: $100,000 for architectural design for standalone in Years 6-10 <br />Years 6-10: Independent EMS station in the Northern corridor of the County <br />Years 6-10: Co-Location with fire department <br /> <br />Emergency Services Substation Long Range Plan <br />• FY2016-17 Colocation with Chapel Hill Fire Department at Glen Lennox <br />• FY2017-18 – Colocation with Orange Rural Fire and Hillsborough Police at Waterstone <br />• FY2018-19 – Standalone station in Buckhorn-Efland area <br />• FY2019-20 – Colocation with fire dept. pending location study <br />• FY2020-21 – Standalone station in Northern corridor
