First, he <br />wants to consider the new fire pumper. <br />Purchase of Fire Pumper <br />Council President Fixler said before Council entertains the motion, he would like to make a <br />recommendation (after talking with nther Council members) that if Council goes forward with <br />the purchase-it be under these conditions-and all conditions would have to be followed: <br />1. The old vehicle must be traded in; <br />2. This would be the last vehicle for a while. <br />Council President Fixler said he wants these two caveats added to the legislation so it is clear <br />how Council is voting for this. He asked for Council's comments. <br />Mr. Buckholtz asked the amount of time "a while" consists of. <br />Council I'resident Fuxler asked Chief Mohr for his interpreta.tion. <br />Chief Mohr said this rescue truck will replace the 20-year-old model. He recommends retaining <br />the truck they are replacing. He believes the old truck would benefit the community by fighting <br />brush fires in rural areas such as the Upper 40 and the Metroparks. The truck could also be used <br />by the Service Department to blow out culverts and water flowers. He believes the truck's value <br />would bebetween $6,000-7,000 if it were traded in-andby putting it on the market, we could <br />probably get $10,000. <br />Regarding the period of time, Chief Mohr said we purchased a large pumper that has a 20-year <br />life span. Barring a major accident or catastrophe or something he can't foresee, he does not <br />foresee a major purchase while we are all here. Chief Mohr said one thing that is coming up-is <br />a squad replacement. We replace our squads every 10 years. In 1998, 641 will be 10 years old. <br />That will cost around $100,000_00, but we split that 50-30 with Gates Mills.
