FC# 5 <br />2002 CAPITAL EQUIPMENT SCHEDULE <br />By: Diana Lund, Finance Officer <br />Background: <br />At the Board of Adjustment meeting on May 1, 2001, the variance of Amcor was denied <br />due to the lack of adequate service that could be provided by public safety. Three years <br />prior, The Savannah Oaks Senior Center was given a variance, with the assurance that an <br />aerial truck would be purchased in the near fixture. <br />A 35 -foot height restriction was established because of the limitations current public <br />safety equipment encounters. To combat this restriction, an aerial fire truck is needed <br />which would allow reaches of up to 100 feet. This also would allow a safer work <br />environment for the City's public safety employees. <br />Without the service of an aerial truck, the City cannot meet the safety requirements of <br />some businesses that desire to build within the City limits. <br />Staff Recommendation: <br />Discussion of possible financing sources for the purchase of an aerial ladder truck. <br />Council Action: <br />Based upon recommendations by the Finance Committee and discussion of the City <br />Council. <br />-163- <br />
