Alderman O’Brien
That is a good question, what is the age Chief, do you know what the age of the old vehicle is?
Brian Rhodes, Nashua Fire Chief
You'd have to check the schedule, | don’t know off the top of my head.
Chairman O’Brien
But I’m sure it is going to be traded in and get the value towards the new vehicle, correct?

Yes or repurposed.

Alderman Laws
Just give us a 30,000 foot overview of what is going on if you don’t mind?
Chief Rhodes
Good evening Committee members, Brian Rhodes, | have the pleasure of serving as your Fire Chief. So this
request is to have a comprehensive review done of our organization. You have heard many times and you will
continue to hear probably in my tenure, that we are very thin in the administrative section of our organization.
This is not something that we can undertake on our own.
