Alderwoman Caron
Thankyou | have several and not that | don’t think this is a good idea but | think there are several issues. It
really needs to be looked at by Park Rec and get some ideas of how many hours are on there. Also, that’s
going to deplete their CERF account by $13,000.00, that leaves them at about $13,000.00 left in their account
for the Fire Department. My question to you Mayor would be, would it behoove us to table this until we have
some answers as to whether this truck is suit able for Park Rec and get some information from the Fire
Department.
Mayor Donchess
Well of course they’ve got no one from the Fire Department here. We want to make sure the deal goes
through. So what if we leave it, | mean | think we should keep the truck if it is of use to Park Rec, | mean it’s
$13,000.00; probably new the vehicle costs | don’t know $150,000.00.
Mr. Caggiano
Yeah | think this one is $133,000.00.
Mayor Donchess
So we are getting it at 10%. And if it is not okay, Nick will check it out tomorrow and if it is not okay, we will get
together with the Fire Department, and maybe with your authorization, right now if it is not okay with Parks we
will trade it in, how’s that?
Alderman O’Brien
It is good and then Mr. Mayor, if | may, did | quote, | added the $13,000.00 to the $133,000.00 should | have
done that on the purchase of it?
Mayor Donchess
| think you should yeah. So Nick will check it out, if it checks out, which it probably will, we will go forward as
proposed. If it for some reason does not check out, we will trade it in and tell you next time, how’s that?
Alderman O’Brien
| am good with that. Would you like the motion if upon denial of Park Rec contingency.
Mr. Caggiano
| don’t want to delay Fire at all.
Mayor Donchess
| think we can deal with the $13,000.00 less in CERF, | mean this is, you know; and if the thing is no good we
will just trade itin. But probably Nick is going to want it and that’s it. Alright.
Alderman O’Brien
I’m good.
