Mayor Warkentien absent. i~ ROSELAWN (CONY) NEGOTIATION WITH U of M RIGHT OF WAY Fire Chief Jerry Renchin explained the application pro- AMBULANCE ceedure for acquiring an ambulance through State-Federal FIRE CHIEF funding. They will provide 500 of the funds, the balance JERRY RENCHIN would be acquired through private donations from various clubs and businesses. On a survey conducted at this point, the Knights of Columbus are very receptive to contributing. The .funding would include the radio equipment to be installed on a 50/50 basis also. The benefits to the City would be that we are in complete control of the unit. The sheriff vehicle provided now is in need of replacement as it is no longer reliable for transport due to breakdowns on prior calls. The vehicle under consideration is a van type, with room inside to administer aid during transport which can not be done now as the sheriff's vehicle does not have the space required. The rescue squad would also have control over the driving which they do not have at the present time. The cost involved is around $18,000 to $20,000 for the vehicle and $1,800 for the communication installation. The life of the vehicle is projected to be about 10 to 15 years. Councilman McGough questioned that if we made application, were we obligated to follow through? Fire Chief Renchin explained we were under no obligation and can withdraw the application at anytime. It is forseeable in the future of this program being discontinued and no longer available to us. Councilman McGough moved, seconded by Councilperson Brown to authorize Fire Chief Renchin to make application for State and Federal funding along with private donations for the entire cost of the ambulance unit.
