CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM BRIEFING SHEET <br />Submittal Date: <br />Originating Department: <br />Presented By: <br />Agenda Item No.: <br />6-10-09 <br />Council Date: <br />Fire Department <br />Ronnie Grooms <br />13. <br />6-22-09 <br />RECOMMENDED MOTION: <br />Move to approve a resolution declaring as surplus property obsolete self contained breathing apparatus <br />which have been removed from service; approving the sale of said equipment to HAZ-CO in exchange <br />for fire academy training; and authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute all necessary <br />documents. <br />POLICY ISSUE(S): <br />Fiscal <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The City of Paris Fire Department has many obsolete self contained breathing apparatus <br />("SCBA"), which have been removed from service and are no longer being used by the Paris Fire <br />Department. <br />These old SCBA units no longer meet the NFPA requirements, are no longer supported by the <br />manufacturer (MSA) for parts and service, and are not allowed for emergency incident mitigation. The <br />Paris Fire Department has recently transitioned from this old-style equipment to the new style Scott <br />SCBA's. These old MSA SCBA's have no continued value or use for PFD and represent a storage <br />problem. <br />The old MSA SCBA units have very limited or no value on the open market and should, <br />therefore, be declared as surplus property. <br />HAZ-CO, a fire training academy in Grayson County, Texas can still legally uses this type of <br />SCBA for training purposes. HAZ-CO has offered free fire academy training for three new recruits <br />(approximately $6,000 value) or other training as needed in return for the City's donation of our entire <br />MSA SCBA inventary. <br />Declaring this SCBA inventory as surplus and exchanging it for training maximizes the return on <br />investment for the City. <br />BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: <br />EXHIBITS: <br />Resolution <br />ACTION: <br />BUDGET INFO: <br />❑ Financial Report ❑ Minute Order <br />Expense <br />$.00 (for first ear). <br />❑ Department Report ~ Resolution <br />Budgeted Amt. <br />❑ Presentation ❑ Ordinance <br />yTD Actual <br />❑ Public Hearing ❑ Other <br />Acct.
