Detailed view of project identification and description sections


Executive Summary	The Fire Department requires additional workspace for Fire staff. The initiative moves the Bylaw Officer and Clerk into one of vacant spaces that was used as volunteer firefighter rental accommodations
Business problem and opportunity	When the Public Safety Building was occupied in 2015, it housed the Bylaw office and the Building department. Changes to this model saw the building official relocated to the Town hall in 2020, with the Bylaw office remaining in the Fire portion of the building. With recent additional hires and a lack of workspace for Fire staff, the need to move bylaw out of this space and into an upstairs dorm is necessary. When the building was designed, it was planned that if workspace were required for Fire operations, any other department occupying this space would be moved. The upstairs residential dorms were always anticipated to be additional office space in the event a move was necessary. This budget initiative will see the Bylaw Officer and Clerk move to a newly renovated office space, within the building, however it will be located upstairs in a separate facility
Proposed project objectives	Moving the Bylaw office to an existing space within the public safety building will free up necessary workspace for Fire administration. The budget required will cover costs associated with the purchase of new furniture, installation of infrastructure and computers. No structural changes are required as part of this initiative.
Business risks	The move is critical as Fire admin and operations has exhausted existing workspace for its staff
