DATE: November 14, 2006
SUBJECT: City Council Meeting - November 21, 2006
ITEM: 10.B.1. Consider a resolution authorizing the City Manager to issue a
purchase order for a fire apparatus with a ladder.
Department: Fire Department
Staff Person: Larry Hodge, Fire Chief
Justification:
By having a fire apparatus with a ladder in the City, the Fire Department would greatly
increase their water flow during structure fires and have a backup for their current trucks
when one goes out of service. The fire apparatus with a ladder does everything that an
engine does and has an additional capability of 75' ladder when needed. This equipment will
be assigned to Station 3. Engine 3 will be reassigned reassigned to Station 7.

N/A
The timeline to build a fire apparatus with a ladder is approximately 10 months. There
would be no expenditure for this equipment until September 2007. We do not have a
confirmed date when Station 7 is going to open, but indications are this could happen within
the next 12 months. Staff recommends the signing of this Purchase Order. Input provided
for the Fire Department's Strategic Plan clearly shows the need for a fire apparatus with a
ladder.
