CITY ATTY
Council adopt Resolution No. 3 authorizing the disposal of the
surplus fire truck.
I17M EXPLAD?ATION:
In March 1978, the County of San Diego transferred to the City of Carlsbad a
crash/fire trunk designed to fight gasoline fires. The unit is a 1968 Ford and
has been housed at Fire Station 42 since it was accepted by the City. The
estimated value of the unit is $4,000.
Due to the age and the mechanical unreliability of the firefighting system on
the crash/fire truck the Fire Chief and Fleet Maintenance Superintendent feel
the unit is not adequate or safe for firefighting. The expense to repair and
renovate the unit would not be cost effective. Therefore, it is rerorrmended the
unit be declared obsolete and disposed of by the City Manager.
No replacement unit is being requested at this time since first 'Line fire
engines have been upgraded to provide the same type of capability in a safer
and reliable manner.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The amount received from the sale of the truck will be deposited in Vehicle
Replacement Fund.
