In a recent government meeting, discussions centered around the potential sale of a fuel station located on a parcel of land that is currently under consideration for purchase by Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue (TVFNR). Commissioner Rogers emphasized the importance of fire services as essential infrastructure in the area, highlighting the need for clarity regarding TVFNR's intentions as the community continues to grow.
Rogers expressed confusion over the timelines involved, noting that while TVFNR is deliberating on the appraisal provided to them, the broader marketing of the entire site is also being considered. He urged for a more expedited decision from TVFNR, suggesting that a deadline could be set to prompt a response.
In response, staff confirmed that TVFNR had indeed approached the government about purchasing the fuel station specifically, which initiated the discussions about the potential sale. They reassured that due diligence has been conducted, allowing for various options: selling just the station, marketing the entire site, or retaining part of it. The urgency of the situation was underscored, as the decision-making process remains in a state of limbo, with implications for both the fire service and the community's development.
