The Board of Supervisors and Carson City department leaders held their annual retreat Thursday to discuss the city's needs.
Top of the list: a new fire station.
Fire Chief Sean Slamon proposed two possible locations for a new station and the most cost effective way to staff it.
An additional station would make sense in either northwest or east Carson City. In the northwest, the city would have to acquire a site while it owns suitable land in the east, off Butti Way near Lompa Ranch, where several, large residential projects are planned.
"If we add a station near Public Works that would provide a lot of the overlap and four minutes to the east side," said Slamon, referring to the Public Works office on Butti Way, the desired overlapping coverage between a station there and the city's existing stations that would allow for 4-minute response times.
