CITY OF ORONO MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: August 23, 2021 <br />TO: Mayor Walsh, City Council members <br />RE: Long Lake Fire Department (LLFD) Command Vehicle Discussion <br /> <br /> <br />Background. LLFD Command Vehicle #2 is scheduled to be replaced in 2022. The existing vehicle has <br />significant suspension issues. Repair costs are approximately $6000. Auction value is approximately <br />$5500. In lieu of investing in repairs for the existing vehicle the City of Orono loaned the LLFD a PD <br />Patrol vehicle that just came out of service. Lead time for a replacement vehicle is approximately 6 <br />months. <br /> <br />Topics for Discussion. <br />1. Should the city authorize early procurement (ordering) of the replacement vehicle? <br />2. If yes, should the City of Orono purchase the vehicle outright for future inclusion in Orono FD? <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />Staff recommends ordering the command vehicle now and having it be fully funded by the City of Orono. <br /> <br />Exhibit <br />CIP Presentation Slide <br />
