TCWN OF VINI'ON REQUEST FOR FUNDS
FOR NEW FIREHOUSE
Town of Vinton Mayor Gus W. Nicks along with the full Town Council, Town
Manager and Fire Chief appeared before the Board and requested the County contri-
bute 60 percent of the total cost towards the construction of the proposed new
firehouse for the Town. Mayor Nicks explained that Vinton badly needs an adequate
firehouse and further noted that the present firehouse is in the Municipal buildin<
and is very inadequate. Mayor Nicks stated that the proposed firehouse v..Duld be
built to "properly and adequately serve a large area."
At the request of Chainnan Johnson, Vice-Chainnan Tompkins gave a brief verba
I
report on the meeting he attended wi th representatives from Vinton. Mr. Tompkins
was appointed at the March 9 Board meeting to serve on a study corrmittee to
investigate the request. Mr. Tcmpkins said that he personally feels the request
is justified and agrees that the County should appropriate 60 percent of the total
cost for the firehouse to be made over a two-year period.
Mr. Ccmpton, also a corrmittee member, stated that Roanoke County has not
previously put such a large sum of money into its firehouses (the total cost of
the proposed Vinton firehouse is $460,491). He admitted that the County has an
obligation to contribute same money but also stated that the County should have
had more input into the proposed station. Mr. Compton further noted that the
firehouse is much larger than what the County is used to building and feels
expansion is already built into the firehouse.
Supervisor Tompkins moved that the County appropriate 60 percent of the cost
I
for the construction of a firehouse in the Town of Vinton and that the money be
appropriated over two fiscal years with two equal payments of $138,000 each fiscal
year.
