c. APPROVAL OF SPECS FOR ENGINE 6
The equipment replacement fund indentifies the replacement of Engine 6
in 1989. The construction of a new fire engine takes approximately
one year, therefore, the specification and bid process need to get
underway as soon as possible.
Council was furnished with the specifications for Engine 6. The Fire
Department proposed the addition of a Telesquirt apparatus to improve
fire suppression abilities. The Telesquirt unit will allow minimum
personnel to deliver up to 1000 gallons of water per minute, via an
articulating arm, onto a fire. To accomplish this with hand held
lines would require a minimum of 4 lines with at least 3 people per
line, plus the pump operator, equaling 13 people.
Mr. Anderson moved and Mr. Shirley seconded the motion to approve the
specifications for motor/fire apparatus for the purpose of replacing
Engine 6 and that the City Clerk is authorized to advertise for bids.
A poll of the vote was as follows: Mr. Anderson, Aye; Mr. Shirley,
Aye; Mr. Kritzler, Aye; Mr. Redepenning, Aye; Mayor Milbert, Aye. The
motion carried unanimously
