CITY COUNCIL <br />AGENDA ITEM 4C <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Dan L’Allier, Deputy Director of Fire Division <br />MEETING DATE: August 28, 2023 <br />TOPIC: Sale of Part-time Duty Crew Firefighter Turnout Gear <br />VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 <br />INTRODUCTION <br />The Lino Lakes Public Safety Department is requesting Council approval to sell one set of <br />firefighting turnout gear and fire boots to the City of Chaska, Minnesota for $4,542.05. <br />BACKGROUND <br />In the summer of 2022, after implementation of our part-time duty crew, new turnout gear was <br />ordered by the City for our new part-time duty crew members. All turnout gear and fire boots <br />purchased were sized to fit each staff member and the Fire Division took delivery of this gear in <br />October of 2022. Recently, one of our part-time duty crew staff members has left our <br />employment and started working as a full-time Firefighter/Inspector for the City of Chaska. With <br />delays and supply chain issues, it can take several months to receive turnout gear when it is <br />ordered, and thus the City of Chaska has requested to purchase the turnout gear and fire boots for <br />this former employee. By purchasing the Lino Lakes gear, this will allow the City of Chaska to <br />issue gear to this firefighter that was ordered new for him. The life span of this gear is 10 years <br />fro m date of manufacture per the National Fire Protection Association. The cost of this gear <br />when it was new was $4,301.80 to the City of Lino Lakes. A formula was used to determine a <br />fair value for the City of Chaska to pay for the turnout gear. The formula divided the original <br />cost of the gear by 120 months (10 years), then multiplied the monthly cost for the months the <br />gear was in service here in Lino Lakes, and then subtracted this cost from the original purchase <br />price to obtain a total of $3,979.15 for the turnout gear. The City of Chaska would pay the full <br />price of $562.90 for the fire boots that the City of Lino Lakes paid for them in 2022. The total <br />amount of $4,542.05 ($3,979.15 + $562.90 = $4,542.05) for the purchase of both the turnout <br />gear and the fire boots. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends the Council approve the sale of the used turnout gear and fire boots to the City <br />of Chaska for $4,542.05 <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />MacQueen Invoice P07311
