-- truck over a 6 year period. In the first year a community does not have to <br />?-" make a payment. This company's interest rate is under 6 percent. I spoke <br />to Mr. Toth prior to his leaving and he stated this was an excellent <br />financial option. Consider pro-rating the life expectancy of the proposed <br />truck over a 20 years. Then the cost per year comes down considerably. <br />I have given considerable thought to the following questions. <br />1. This truck will meet the present and future needs of our community <br />as long as future buildings are not allowed to be taller than 50 feet. <br />This truck (along with all of our trucks) would have trouble in the <br />new Village Trail subdivision due to the narrow driveways allowed <br />in this area. <br />2. This truck will serve as a first out truck to the industrial park and . <br />apartments. The Insurance Service of Ohio states Mayfield Village <br />needs 3000 gallons per minute pumping capacity. This truck would <br />receive 1/2 pumping credit. Along with our current pumper 611, we <br />would meet the 3000 gallon per minute requirement. <br />3. All of our other first line equipment bought since 1978 has been <br />constructed out of aluminum. By specifying aluminum rust and <br />corrosion have been minimal. The proposed ladder truck would be <br />made out of aluminum also. This would save the community money <br />over the life of the truck. The truck we are replacing is made out of <br />steel. While it still looks presentable this 1967 truck is rusting out <br />from the inside out. Rust is found in key areas including the pump <br />piping, 'L' brackets and compartments. <br />4. The proposed truck will fit in the current fire station. <br />5. The proposed ladder truck can be set up by one person in 52 seconds. <br />This would enhance the productivity of our limited manpower by <br />getting this vehicle in service quickly during an emergency. <br />6. This type of apparatus fits our village streets perfectly, it is able <br />to be driven down every street and cul-de-sac. It would be the same <br />length as a Mayfield City School bus.
