audio to digital.
Fire Department
The department representatives provided an updated Vehicle Replacement Schedule indicating
the status of all assigned vehicles. Vehicles discussed during the meeting were as follows;

FY 2013 at a cost of $925k.
Engine 1, purchased in 1993, is now targeted for replacement in FY2014 at a cost of
$510k, and Engine 4, purchased in 1989, is targeted to be replaced in FY2011 at a cost
of $510k.
Command Car 5, purchased in 1995, is now targeted for replacement in FY2011 at a
cost of $45k.
Rescue Truck 1, purchased in 1995, is targeted for replacement in FY2012 at a cost of
$700k, as is Ambulance 1 at a cost of $220k, and Command Car 4 at $45k.
The department representatives also provided Non-Vehicle Items Replacement Schedule which
was discussed as follows;
Composite Self Contained Breathing Apparatus bottles are targeted for replacement in
FY2014, FY2015, and FY2016 at a cost of $30k, $35k, and $40k respectively. Grant
money may be available for these items.
Other items on the schedule do not meet the $25k criteria for consideration of the Capital
Improvement Committee.
Discussed the replacement of the Woodville Fire Station in FY2011 at a cost of $1.5m, and a new
Eastside Fire Station in FY2013 at a cost of $2.0m. It was decided that both of these items should
be pushed out 2 years as both will not be necessary any sooner, and Legacy Farms is currently
on hold.
Also, vehicle maintenance for FY2011 is targeted at $40k.
General
A discussion was held regarding the number of CIC members and the fact that all three members
must be in attendance at all meetings in order to have a quorum.
