In 2014, due to increased traffic, trustees decided to staff Station 2 on Carpenter Road for better protection. However, that facility doesn’t have living space or sewers, so the department rents a Lake Road house for on-duty personnel, according to the report.

Once the new station comes to fruition, the department will sell the Carpenter Road facility, officials say.
