CITY OF COLTON <br />AGENDA REPORT <br />FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 19, 1998 <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City <br />APPROVAL: Henry Garcia, City <br />FROM: Tom Hendrix, Acting Fire Chief <br />SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution to Donate One Surplus Fire Engine <br />To the San Bernardino Community College District <br />DATE: May 6,1998 <br />BACKGROUND <br />The Crafton Hills Fire Technology Program operates a State Fire Marshal Accredited Fire <br />Academy. This academy provides both didactic and manipulative training for aspiring <br />firefighters and many of our current personnel have attended. <br />DISCUSSION / ANALYSIS <br />The academy makes use of fire engines donated by local fire departments to provide <br />manipulative training. The Fire Department has a 1971 fire engine with 108,000 miles and is <br />out of service due to an inoperative fire pump, age and mileage. If donated the college district <br />will pay for all DMV and other costs related to the transfer of ownership. <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />Sell as a surplus vehicle. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT <br />The city will not realize approximately $2,000 that would otherwise be received through the <br />sale of this apparatus. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />None <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The City Council adopt the attached Resolution donating a 1971 American LaFrance fire <br />engine to the San Bernardino Community College District. <br />Attachments: Resolution Item # 5 <br />
