DATE: January 20, 2015
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Christopher L. Foss, City Manager "
SUBJECT: Donation of Surplus Fire Engine for Reserve Firefighter Training
Prepared by Linda Smith, Assistant City Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council is being to consider a donation of an out-of-service fire engine to the Alameda
County Fire Department (ACFD) to support the Reserve Firefighter training efforts.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve, by motion, the donation of the out of service
Fire Engine to the Alameda County Fire Department.
DESCRIPTION:
In December 2014, a new 2014 Pierce Arrow XT Engine was placed into service at Fire
Station 17. At that time, the prior 1998 Pierce Quantum was moved into reserve status. Those
moves resulted in the surplus of a 1990 Pierce Arrow Engine. In the past, the City has
contracted with a private company to surplus such vehicles. However, this time, Staff is
recommending the vehicle be donated to the Alameda County Fire Department.
The Alameda County Fire Department would use this vehicle for the Reserve Firefighter
Program. This program exposes young people to the Fire Service and provides them with
training on how to become a firefighter. This apparatus would replace a 1987 Beck Fire Engine
currently being used by ACFD.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
None required.
ATTACHMENTS:
None.
