The Kodiak City Council has authorized $42,817 for the renovation of the fire stationâs kitchen, which is needed for âefficiency and safety reasons,â according to City Manager Mike Tvenge. Â
The council voted at a regular meeting on Jan. 28 to pass an ordinance approving the renovation. Funds will come out of the city budgetâs Building Improvement Fund.Â
âAfter review of the kitchen appliances, cabinet and counter space, it is evident an upgrade is needed,â Tvenge wrote in a memo to the council. âThis improvement will allow for multiple shifts to better utilize this space.âÂ
Tvenge noted that with increased personnel on each work shift, the current space needs a more efficient design and a working dishwasher.Â
