SUMMARY
Over the past few years, staff has worked on the design of the new Fire Station No. 6 and Fire Training Center. Design will continue into early 2019, with construction anticipated to begin in fall 2019. As part of this effort, staff has been meeting with the Chabot-Las Positas Community College District (District) to explore a potential partnership on the Fire Training Center. On October 24, 2017, the District’s Board of Trustees passed a motion directing the Chancellor to create a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City of Hayward. Over the past several months, staff has worked with the District to draft an MOU. Staff recommends that City Council adopts the resolution (Attachment II) to authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute the MOU with the District.
