r <br />L <br />` tav-. _ G <br />MEI40 TO: Mayor and City Council q <br />FROM: Clerk -Administrator. <br />DATE: January 23, 1984 <br />SUBJECT: PUBLIC WORKS REQUEST FOR PURCHASE OF FIRE POSE <br />Attached to this memorandum please find a memorandum from Public <br />Works Foreman Gary Kardell requesting authorization for the <br />purchase of 300 feet of 2-1/2 inch fire Dose at a total cost of <br />$588.00. Mr. Kardell indicates that the reason for the request <br />is to provide a fire hose that would enable the City to bypass <br />a watermain break when we are unable to isolate it through the <br />use of valves. This would allow the City to provide water <br />service to the majority of residents that would otherwise be <br />without water. <br />In discussing the situation with Mr. Kardell, he advised me that <br />the fire hose presently in stock in the Public Works Garage has <br />been used for a variety of purposes, including the pumpage of <br />sewage, and would not be acceptable for the purposes intended. <br />He has assured me that should the City authorize the purchase of <br />this hose he will secure it in a manner that will guarantee that <br />it remains sanitary for the purposes for which it is intended. <br />Finance Director Brager has advised that there are Contingency <br />monies within the Water Department Fund 1984 Budget which could <br />be used for the purchase of this hose. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Staff would recommend Council authorize the <br />transfer— er of Contingency monies in the Water Fund to Account <br />No. 700-121-4123 in the amount of $588.00 for the purchase of <br />300 feet of 2-1/2 inch fire hose. <br />DFP/pf <br />Attachment <br />
