Repair of Aerial 1 15 Director of Public Safety Swenson is asking for input on Aerial 1 noting it was in for annual 16 maintenance and inspection and a hydraulic leak was found. The estimate before the Council is 17 based on a previous repair on another unit with the same leak. They are working on getting 18 pricing from the manufacturer for the part. He spoke about the potential of a rebuild, and noted 19 this is the best estimate with information they currently have. The price would reflect shipping 20 the part back to Sweden to be re-manufactured. He explained that the City does not have an 21 aerial ladder truck right now and that they are communicating with neighboring cities for aerial 22 coverage within the City if it is needed. 23 City Administrator Cotton noted the existing budget will cover this expense, however if there are 24 additional repairs they would potentially go over-budget. 25 Mayor Rafferty spoke about past expenditures regarding this product noting there is quite a bit of 26 money the City has saved, there is a roughly $40,000 expense before the Council, and he does 27 not see any issue going forward with it. He wants to go forward in the right direction, rebuilding 28 it, certifying it properly, and for safety reasons. He does not think they are at the stage to move 29 forward with a new ladder truck right now. 30 2.
