The Dalles City Councilors and Wasco County Commissioners will be asked to approve a plan to provide the remaining funds needed for Mid-Columbia Fire and Rescue to make Fire Station 2 on Columbia View Heights operational. Bids earlier in the month came in $72,000 over estimate and what the City and County had provided for the project through enterprise zone funds from Google. But Fire and Rescue District Chief Bob Palmer says discussions with City and County officials led to a plan to delay implementation of a student volunteer firefighter program for two years, and the City would loan the money to finish the fire station project. The district would pay back the money over the next two years with enterprise zone funds earmarked for the student program. The plan will go to City Council this Monday and to the Wasco County Commission in early December, then to the MCFR board for their approval.
