Renovation of a fire / police facility in Saint Augustine Beach, Florida. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a fire / police facility.

In 2019, the St Johns County School Board (SJCSB) presented a contract to St. Johns County Fire Rescue (SJCFR) utilizing a fee for service model, which also required SJCFR to replace or repair any damaged equipment. The estimated annual cost for use - not including unforeseen repairs - is $80,000.00. This action by the SJCSB replaced a long standing facility use agreement which was based on a partnership and in-kind contributions. SJCFR no longer has reliable access to a training facility and must move forward with funding and procurement of a modern training facility. Additionally, the SJCSB facility does not meet the needs and requirements of SJCFR due to the condition of the training structures and the continuous scheduling conflicts with the SJCSB educational programs. The unavailability of this facility and the declining opportunities to provide realistic training is detrimental for several significant reasons. 1) The required Insurance Service Offices (ISO) training requirements As of October 3, 2024, this project is in the conceptual phase and pending a site selection, which is under review.
