The Sierra Vista City Council approved a utility easement for Arizona Water to provide services to an Emergency Medical Services substation under construction on the northeast corner of Buffalo Solider Trail and 7th Street at Thursday’s regular council meeting.
The substation will provide quick back up for the Sierra Vista Fire & Medical Services EMS crew on Fort Huachuca, improve EMS response for many military families living off-post, and benefit the community at-large with reduced response times. More than 90 percent of the calls SVF&MS receives each year are medical in nature and this new station will help the department keep pace with an increasing call load.
Construction is expected to be complete in the summer. It is funded in part by a Defense Community Infrastructure Program grant of more than $1.4 million from the Department of Defense Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation.
In other business, the City Council approved two separate pre-annexation agreements for single family residential properties. The properties are located at 226 N. 2nd Street and 218 N. 1st Street.
