MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />OCTOBER 7, 1992 <br />the Department. That committee will come back with a <br />recommendation. It was noted that by having its own <br />compressor, the Department could fill tanks to last for <br />longer periods of time, and would have the means to <br />refill tanks on an emergency basis, if necessary. <br />The Chief noted that refurbishing the 741 truck has <br />been on the capital improvement list a lot longer than <br />the compressor, and the Chief felt the refurbishing <br />should be a higher priority. <br />The Chief questioned whether the cost of the compressor <br />would come from the building fund or the l0o capital <br />improvement fund. <br />The City Administrator noted that should the City fund <br />the unpaid balance of the new fire truck, there may not <br />be adequate funds left in the building fund to pay for <br />a compressor. The Administrator indicated that he <br />listed this item on the l0o capital improvement list to <br />get the item identified. That does not preclude <br />funding that item from other sources, if that is <br />possible. <br />The Chief noted that funding of hepatitis B <br />vaccinations has been satisfied by the City. The other <br />two capital improvement items pending are replacement <br />of uniforms for the fire fighters, as well as breathing <br />masks. The Chief asked if the Fire Department had been <br />reimbursed by the City for the $1,340 cost of ladder <br />replacement. <br />The City Administrator suggested if that reimbursement <br />had not yet taken place, the Fire Department forward <br />the City a copy of the invoice for the ladders, and the <br />City would then make reimbursement. <br />Blesener noted that the City approved the expenditure <br />for ladder replacement from the 10% capital improvement <br />fund. <br />The Chief noted that some of the fire fighters have had <br />their uniforms for over 20 years, and they are getting <br />tacky. The Chief reported that the Department would <br />like to replace the uniforms with a different style. <br />Estimated cost of replacement is $5,400. It was noted <br />that no uniforms have been provided for the last 3 or 4 <br />fire fighters which have come on board. <br />Page 2 <br />
