G.3 Approve Hugo Fire Department Purchase of a Taylor’d Series 12 Training Prop The Hugo Fire Department would like to purchase a Taylor’d Series 12 Training Prop for in- houses and on-site training. This Prop is not included in the Fire Department budget. The Department has contacted several charitable gambling associations for donations, and the Relief Association has committed $40,000 towards the purchase. Staff recommends Council approve the purchase of the Taylor’d Series12 Training Prop from Taylor’d Systems LLC in the amount of $61,800 using funds from the City of Hugo Fire Department Donations Account. G.4 Approve Purchase of 2025 Ferris Zero Turn Mower for the Public Works Department The Hugo Public Works Department would like to purchase a mower for maintenance of the City’s expanding parks and public facilities. The purchase of a Ferris zero turn mower with an EZ dump hopper has been discussed with the Finance Department and funds are available in the 2025 CIP Budget. This mower would be purchased through the MnDOT Cooperative Purchasing Venture. Staff recommends Council approve the purchase of a Ferris ISX330 60” zero turn mower with an EZ dump hopper from L.T.G. Power Equipment for $22,857. G.5 Identify and Approve Expired Fire Department Gear as Surplus Equipment Eligible for Donation The Hugo Fire Department has 16 structure fire jackets, 21 structure fire pants, 29 sets of wildland gear (coat and pant), 15 helmets and 19 pairs of structure fire boots that no longer meet industry standards for fire departments in the United States and thus have no resale value. The National Fire Protection Agency standards require the above-mentioned gear to be retired and neither the Hugo Fire Department, nor any other City Department has any use for the expired gear. The Fire Department would like to be able to donate their expired gear to a nonprofit that is able to send the turnout gear, helmets and boots to impoverished countries around the world where it would be used by firefighters who cannot afford turnout gear and in countries that do not have NFPA standards. In order for the Hugo Fire Department to put their expired gear out for donation, City Council needs to declare the gear surplus. Staff recommends that the City Council identify and approve 16 expired structure fire jackets, 21 expired structure fire pants, 29 sets of expired wildland gear (coat and pant), 15 expired helmets and 19 pairs of expired structure fire boots as surplus equipment eligible for donation.
