Replace Fire Station 2

*PASSED*

Official Summary

Do the voters of the City of Carlsbad approve spending existing city funds from various sources, including the General Fund, in an amount to exceed $1 million to construct a replacement Fire Station 2 located at the intersection of El Camino Real and Arenal Road for an estimated cost range of $7 million up to $10.5 million?

Notes

  • authorizes spending up to $10.5 Million
  • the city already has money available
  • Prop H (1982) required that if more than $1 Million was to be used for city property, it needs to go to a vote
  • existing Fire Station 2 was built in 1969, no longer meets the City’s service requirements due to limited storage, outdated construction and a lack of compliance with the Essential Facilities Act in the uniform building code
