ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
Chief Buxton?
Assistant Fire Chief Buxton
Good evening, thank you. So some of you may remember this, we were funding different committees earlier in
the year to get the bond approved to purchase these two pieces of apparatus. Basically we are trying to
purchase them together because it will result in overall savings of about $160,000 something thousand dollars
for the City if we do them at the same time. This is consistent with our CERF schedule replacement program.
One of the engines is being bought 12 months early.
Mayor Donchess
And when do you expect delivery.
Assistant Fire Chief Buxton
Delivery for these would be approximately January / February of next year. Build time is because of the supply
chain is a little bit delayed from what they normally are. Normally an engine takes 8 to 10 months to build.
Mayor Donchess
Any questions/comments from anyone? Could you please call the roll, Madam Clerk?
