PRESENTATION Communications Manager Pam Spencer offered the following summary: Fire Department Feasibility Study Presentation "Fire Chief Steve Kyle, Eric Chambers with Brandstetter Carroll, Inc., and Michael Hogan with Emergency Services Consulting International (ESCI) provided an overview of the Paducah Fire Department Feasibility Study. In November 2022, the City authorized the study to analyze existing fire stations, study facility space needs, provide an opinion of probable costs, and analyze staffing levels and organizational processes by looking at national standards and best practices. The Paducah Fire Department has five stations built between 1954 and 1980. Each of the stations has a need for upgrades and enhancements with an estimated cost of maintenance and upgrades at more than $3.59 million. The average renovation cost for a fire station could be up to $450 per square foot with new construction costs up to $850 per square foot. The feasibility study also reviewed the City of Paducah's growth and response times in an effort to present a variety of fire station configurations which include adding stations, moving stations, and/or combining stations. The model shows that Fire Station 4 located at 3189 Jackson Street is in an ideal location while the model shows the other stations could be placed in different locations to improve the percentage of the city that can be reached in a four -minute response time. The feasibility study provided several recommendations regarding Fire Department staffing. A few of the recommendations include adding a code enforcement officer and increasing operational staffing to accommodate the nearly 24,000 hours that need to be filled annually for vacations, vacancies, and other leave. March 12, 2024 Mayor Bray thanked the team for the thorough information and that it will be useful in making future decisions."
