I was told at a recent "meet your officials" event that the new fire station on Warm Springs was budgeted to cost $8 million for the building, not including equipment. If this is the normal way of doing things, there is a lot of low hanging fruit ripe for saving money.
Where is the committee for identifying cost savings?
Spending that huge amount of money does not make sense. That's enough to easily build 12 luxury houses. That's 24 car garages and room for 12 golf carts. 12 kitchens, 36 bedrooms, 24 showers.
Smarter spending would get a whole lot more for a lot less money.
Why did they decide to build it for that amount???
