Purpose
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide information to the Franklin Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA) to consider entering into a lease agreement with Williamson County for property located at the County Ag Center for use as a temporary Fire Station (Fire Station #7).
Background
The establishment last August of a temporary Fire Station No. 7 has been successful at reducing Fire Department response times for the area served by the temporary station. Now that the Peytonsville Road / Goose Creek Bypass bridge crossing Interstate 65 has been reopened, the Fire Department recommends that, rather than closing the temporary Fire Station No. 7, the City replace it with another temporary Fire Station No. 7 in order to continue to serve this area for the next few years until a permanent Fire Station No. 7 is constructed and fully operational. An agreement has been drafted with Williamson County for the use of a portion of the County Ag Center property until the permanent Fire Station 7 is constructed. The County is working with the City on the move out the existing quarters ("green room" of the Ag Center) by the end of February.
Financial Impact
As drafted in the proposed lease, Williamson County is not requiring any direct rent payment for the lease of the property. The County will take possession of the "pole barn" at the expiration of the lease and will have a "right of first refusal" should the City determine it has not further use of the living quarters.
