NEW FIRE TRUCK - PURCHASE - Fire Chief Burnley addressed the need
for a new fire truck to adequately service both residents and
businesses, as well as maintain a "6" rating for insurance
purposes. Three demo units are available on a first -come, first
served basis from Simon-LTI at a cost of $357,000 each. All units
are equipped with pumper, ladder, and snorkel capabilities. Should
the Town Board approve financing of this purchase, the Estes Park
Volunteer Fire Department would request the Board's support in the
Department's pursuit of a fund-raising drive to raise additional
monies needed to finance the purchase of this vehicle. All three
trucks (Spartan, Kenworth and Duplex) are low mileage and were
built between February and June 1991.
Following discussion, it was moved and seconded (Garrett-Habecker)
the Town proceed with acquisition of the aerial ladder truck in the
amount of $357,000, authorize a $35,000 down payment expenditure,
recommend appropriate fire and maintenance personnel inspect the
vehicles prior to a purchase, and encourage the Estes Park
Volunteer Fire Department to proceed immediately with the fund-
raising drive, and it passed unanimously.
There being no further business, Mayor Dannels adjourned the
meeting at 4:00 P.M.
