Fire Station 1, Fire Station 2, and public safety building upgrades
Sachse
Summary
Estimated $6.1-11.8 million to remodel Fire Station 1, Fire Station 2 (which has flooding issues), and the police public safety building. Members raised a real equity issue: these older facilities weren't designed for male and female firefighters alike. Some members floated whether rebuilding Fire Station 2 on adjacent land might be cost-competitive; staff will look into it.

Bond 2027 Committee - Oct 27, 2026
The three public safety buildings need new commercial HVAC, storage, and ventilation to dry gear and body armor. Committee members strongly favor funding these — several said they'd give up road projects to get it done. Fire Station 2's heating units are failing so badly that staff cannibalize parts from broken units.
