CC Work Session 2. 4. <br />Meeting Date: 10/28/2014 <br />Information <br />Title: <br />Discussion on Options for Existing Tanker Being Replaced <br />Purpose/Background: <br />In 2013 city council authorized the replacement of Tanker #21. (the first large apparatus purchased by the Ramsey <br />Fire Department) Delivery of the replacement apparatus is expected within the first 3 weeks of November. Staff <br />would like to discuss the feasibility of selling the 1989 existing tanker to the City of Nowthen who has shown <br />informal interest in acquiring this vehicle. The purpose oftonights discussion is to discuss: <br /># 1 If Ramsey wants to pursue selling the vehicle to the City of Nowthen <br />#2 Price range <br />#3 Other options <br />Timeframe: <br />The new vehicle is in the final stages of completion. The new vehicle will not be considered "in-service" until <br />internal training has been completed and staff is comfortable with the switch. Staff is suggesting an "in-service" <br />date of around the first of 2015. Anytime after that, a process of transferring Tanker #21 to Nowthen could be <br />completed if council authorizes staff accordingly. <br />Funding Source: <br />The purchase of the new apparatus was authorized in 2012 and 2013 with funding provided from the issuance of <br />capital equipment certificates in 2013. <br />Staff has received 2 quotes for the existing apparatus. The quoted range is from $12,000-$15,000. <br />If council authorizes the sale of existing vehicle to Nowthen, the funds will be used to offset the cost of the new <br />vehicle. <br />Responsible Party(ies): <br />Fire Chief <br />Outcome: <br />Council to authorize staff to proceed with discussions with the City of Nowthen for details, including price, of the <br />existing apparatus. If council authorizes staff to move forward, a future council case will be generated for declaring <br />the existing vehicle excess equipment and authorize the existing vehicle to be sold to the city of Nowthen. <br />No file(s) attached. <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Diana Lund Diana Lund 10/23/2014 10:46 AM <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 10/23/2014 11:14 AM <br />Form Started By: Dean Kapier Started On: 10/23/2014 09:57 AM <br />
