34. Communication from Fire Chief Dunphy regarding purchase of a replacement rescue truck. (pg. 110) President O'Malley made a motion, seconded by Vice President Litten to receive and file the communication. Discussion: Chief Dunphy clarified that the same amount of funds previously requested were not used because the rescue truck initially targeted was not a good value after thorough vetting from his department. He added that the Fire Department has found another one and is seeking contracting authority to give the department the ability to make decision quickly because used vehicles are difficult to acquire and vet. The truck should arrive in a day or two and Fire cannot wait until the December 7h Council meeting to approve the purchase. President O'Malley stated that he is comfortable granting contracting authority that night. On the motion: A roll call vote was taken as follows: Yeas —Bullock, Kepple, Litten, Neff, O'Malley, Rader, Shachner Nays —None Motion passed. The communication was received and filed. 35.
