CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM BRIEFING SHEET <br />Submittal Date: <br />Originating Department: <br />Presented By: <br />A,genda Item No.: <br />OS/08/12 <br />Council Date: <br />Fire Department <br />Ronnie Grooms, Fire Chief <br />22. <br />OS/31/12 <br />RECOMMENDED MOTION: <br />[Atv ACT[oN ITElvt ] - Move to approve the donation of old Holmatro hydraulic rescue tools to the Lamar County <br />Volunteer Firefighter's Association for distribution among those VFD's that do not currently have a rescue tool. <br />POLICY ISSUE(S): <br />Liquidation of old equipment. <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The PFD has retired (3) Holmatro Personal Power Pumps (PPU's) with Combi-Tools (spreader/cutters) that once <br />were used on our apparatus. These are old cutter/spreader units the manufacturer (Holmatro) has discontinued. <br />We have replaced these units with newer, more powerful tools and would prefer to donate this old equipment to <br />the local Volunteer Fire Departments whicll do not currently have rescue tools. <br />The local VFD's have assisted us many times in the past by providing water tenders (tankers), brush apparatus, <br />etc., when we've called them. We want to show our appreciation for their continued support, maintain and <br />enhance our relationship with them, and, where possible, help them to help others as well. <br />We recommend making the donation to the Lamar County VFD Association so they can distribute the equipment <br />to the appropriate departments. <br />I have spoken with the Association President and he said the Association would be exceptionally pleased to <br />accept and distribute the equipment and assured me they would most certainly be used and would be of great <br />benefit. <br />BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: <br />N/A <br />EXHIBITS: <br />Resolution <br />ACTION: <br />BUDGET INFO: <br />❑ Financial Report ❑ Minute Order <br />Expense <br />None <br />❑ Department Report ~ Resolution <br />Budgeted Amt. <br />None <br />❑ Presentation ❑ Ordinance <br />yTD Actual <br />❑ Public Hearing ❑ Other <br />Acct.
