Policy H6 <br />ADDENDUM <br />10/8/03 <br />• <br />ITEM: Approval of Expenditure to Repair Related to Fire Truck 757, Aerial <br />Apparatus <br />SUBMITTED BY: Heather Worthington, City Administrator <br />REVIEWED BY: Chief Kurhajetz <br />EXPLANATION: <br />Summary: The aerial apparatus purchased by the city in 1993 experienced a water leak at the <br />base of the Tele Squirt. This leak caused a problem with water pressure to the high pressure <br />nozzle on the end of the Tele Squirt equipment, and disabled the nozzle. Fire Department staff <br />found this leak prior to the State Fair, but did not want to remove the truck from service for the <br />two weeks needed in order to repair the leak, so waited until the Fair was over. The original <br />estimate for repair was more than $12,000; however, the final bill was only $8,995.27. <br />Because this was an emergency repair situation, the city administrator did authorize fire <br />department staff to go forward with the repair prior to council action. The department is now <br />seeking approval for the expenditure, which was, of course, not accounted for in the 2003 <br />Budget. This cost can be covered in the Fire Capital budget. <br />• ACTION REQUESTED: <br />• Approval of the expenditure of $8,995.27 from Fire Capital to repair Aerial 757 <br />• <br />108339 <br />
