Summary
A 2000 deployment study called for five stations by 2015; none were built. Parts of Fox Meadow, Southview and Elk Road fall outside the 5:22 response standard, and six of 16 structure fires this year missed it. A Legion Road site is being surveyed and $100,000 for land is already budgeted.

Impact analysis
Building a substation is estimated at $3.6 million to $6 million and is unbudgeted beyond the $100,000 land line item.
