Repair of Aerial 1 <br /> 16 Director of Public Safety Swenson is asking for input on Aerial 1 noting it was in for annual <br /> 17 maintenance and inspection and a hydraulic leak was found. The estimate before the Council is <br /> 18 based on a previous repair on another unit with the same leak. They are working on getting <br /> 19 pricing from the manufacturer for the part. He spoke about the potential of a rebuild, and noted <br /> 20 this is the best estimate with information they currently have. The price would reflect shipping <br /> 21 the part back to Sweden to be re-manufactured. He explained that the City does not have an <br /> 22 aerial ladder truck right now and that they are communicating with neighboring cities for aerial <br /> 23 coverage within the City if it is needed. <br /> 24 City Administrator Cotton noted the existing budget will cover this expense,however if there are <br /> 25 additional repairs they would potentially go over-budget. <br /> 26 Mayor Rafferty spoke about past expenditures regarding this product noting there is quite a bit of <br /> 27 money the City has saved, there is a roughly $40,000 expense before the Council, and he does <br /> 28 not see any issue going forward with it. He wants to go forward in the right direction, rebuilding <br /> 29 it, certifying it properly, and for safety reasons. He does not think they are at the stage to move <br /> 30 forward with a new ladder truck right now. <br /> 31 2.
