AND THE FIRE DISTRICT BOARD
JUNE 21, 1977 - PAGE 1
The City Council met in joint session with the Ukiah Valley Fire
Protection District Board of Directors at 7 : 36 p.m. Members of
the Fire District Board of Directors present were Walter Bogner,
Russell Clarke, Al Pilegaard, Ray Ledford. Gary Mirata was absent.
Councilman Feibusch, Councilwoman Snyder, and Mayor Simpson were

PROPOSED FIRE STATION SITE
The purpose of the meeting was to reach a decision on the fire
station site and to retain architects, engineers, and other
necessary professionals.
Council determined at the previous meeting the fire station acqui-
sition would be the No. 2 priority for filing application for
Public Works Act funds . The total amount available is $690, 000.
Of this amount an approximate amount of $475, 000 has been allocated
to the fire station project. To qualify for funds, the project
has to be built on city owned property. The proposed site at the
airport meets this requirement. Property owned by John Mayfield
at the north end of town is available for purchase.
Fire Chief Ken Donohue gave a detailed presentation of the fire
district boundaries and the city boundaries. In his opinion,
the location to the north of town would be the preferred location
because of its quick access to the freeway and availability to
reach properties east of the railroad tracks , the greatest amount of
assessed valuation of property is north of the city, and it appears
that the growth of-the city is in -a northerly direction.
Mr. Clarke gave the terms of the agreement for the Mayfield property
located at the northwest corner of Low Gap and State Street.
• Said terms include a
purchase price of $120, 000 with $34 , 800 down payment, leaving a
balance of $85, 200 at 9. 5% interest over a 10 year period, @ $1142
per month. It was determined that the Fire District has sufficient
cash on hand for its share of the purchase price.
Councilman Feibusch made a motion to offer Mr. Mayfield $100, 000
for subject property at 9% interest over a period of 10 years,
with the possibility of an earlier payoff. If said proposal is refuse
to scale down the project within the City' s financial means for the
airport site. The motion died for lack of a second.
Mr. Pilegaard made a motion, seconded by Mr. Ledford to recommend
to the City Council the north site for the proposed fire station.
The motion carried unanimously.
