Firehall LEED Certification Expense Passes Council
Written by Gary PooleOctober 20, 2009 – 11:29 pm
Should the City of Chattanooga pay an engineering firm over $20,000 to certify a new fire hall as being LEED certified? That was the question put before the City Council Tuesday night, which led to a lengthy debate on the matter.
Councilmember Deborah Scott felt it was akin to buying a medal and then pinning it on yourself.
She wondered why if the new fire halls were built LEED compliant it was necessary to spend so much money to get a piece of paying certifying the fact.
Even so, the resolution relating to the new construction of Fire Hall #7 ended up passing the council by a vote of 6 to 3.
