MINUTES OF TAE <br /> CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,August 27,2018 . <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> 12. 2019 LONG LAKE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN <br /> James Van Eyll reviewed the 2019 Long Lake Fire Department Capital Improvement Plan. Van Eyll <br /> noted they purchased new SCBAs in 2004 and that the bottles are only good for 15 years,which means <br /> they need to be replaced in the near future. Van Eyll stated it is better and more efficient to buy the entire <br /> pack so they get all the upgrades,which is on the agenda for 2019. The Fire Deparhnent has attempted to <br /> replace them by obtaining an Assisted Fire Grant for the last two years but they were not successful in <br /> securing the grant. Van Eyll indicated they will apply for the grant again this fall and that they should <br /> hear back hear sometime in the springtime. If the grant is received,there would be a five percent match <br /> for the size department and city they are. <br /> Van Eyll noted the$250,000 is an estimate to replace the packs that the fire deparhnent has and that they <br /> will have four fewer spares than they currently have because they now have one more engine. Orono's <br /> share of that item is $213,276. <br /> Printup moved,Crosby seconded,to approve the 2019 Long Lake Fire Capital Improvement Plan. <br /> Walsh suggested the motion be amended to include the caveat that any item to be purchased costing over <br /> $5,000 come before the Orono City Council for formal approval. <br /> Printed moved,Crosby seconded,to amend the motion approving the 2019 Long Lake Fire Capital <br /> Improvement Plan to include the caveat that any item to be purchased costing more than$5,000 <br /> has to come before the Orono City Council for formal approval. Vote: Ayes 5,Nays 0. <br /> Van Eyll reported the new engine is now at Station 2,which was purchased for a little over$448,000. <br /> The idea was to have$450,000 for the truck and the rest of the $475,000 for equipment to be mounted on <br /> the truck. The bulk of that is extraction equipment. <br /> Crosby asked if the list of desired equipment has been compiled. <br /> Van Eyll stated they have a generic list at this time and that they are attempting to whittle it down to fit <br /> within the budget. That list is almost complete and will be provided to the City Council. The extraction <br /> equipment comes to approximately$18,000,with the rest of the costs being for the mounting of radios <br /> and other loose equipment such as chain saws. Van Eyll stated they are attempting to use some <br /> equipment from a prior truck. <br /> Crosby asked whether the City Council should approve the equipment costs at this time. <br /> Rief asked when Chief Van Eyll expects the truck to be in service. <br /> Van Eyll stated they are planning on having a ceremony on September 11 but that he is not sure the truck <br /> will be ready to go into service that day. Van Eyll stated it will probably be about three weeks before <br /> they receive some LDH. <br /> Rief stated he would prefer to wait with a motion until they have the list. <br /> Page 4 of 7 <br />
