Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution amends an agreement with Brunton Architects for further evaluation of Duluth Fire Department facilities through GIS analysis of locations, response times, service area coverage and gaps.

The original facility planning study and these additional services are funded through the City’s capital improvement budget specified for fire hall improvements.
