Approval is requested for the purchase of two nozzles to replace two old
models which are no longer serviceable. Total cost is $202.30.
The Fire Council requests permission to let bids for a multi- purpose vehicle
to replace the 1962 sedan currently in use. The present vehicle is in need of
$200.00 worth of mechanical repairs if it is to be kept in service. The body is
starting to rust out in the rocker panels and the quarter panels. This vehicle is
used for all emergency runs, investigations, inspections, and other department bus-
iness. Maximum cost for a suitable vehicle would be $3500.00. The funds for such
a vehicle would come from the reserve equipment fund. A sufficient balance should
be on hand March 1, 1969, to cover the cost of such a vehicle and the remaining bal-
ance due on the recently purchased pumper.
The Fire Council also requests that the annual salary of the Fire Inspector
be increased from $500 to $1,000 due to the increased work load.
