Donation of Equipment
February 1,2007
As you are aware, we partner with the Occupational Skill Center's fire program; we have
hosted their summer training program for the last two years and I anticipate that this
relationship will continue. Our personnel assist with the summer program, teaching
classes to the students. This fire program has gro\vn each year and is one of the most
popular programs of the center.
You may recall, last year during our discussions about replacing our 1986 International
Pumpers, I stated that our intent was to request authorization to donate one of them to the
skill center for their program. We have received the first new pumper and plan on having
it in service by March First.
In addition, as a result of our Sound Transit mitigation funds, we have replaced all of our
fire hose and all of our nozzles. The skill center has requested that we donate the
following surplus equipment to them:
. Six 1-3/4" nozzles
. Four 2-112" nozzles
. Two gated wyes
. Two hydrant gates
. 300' of 1-3/4" hose
. 300' of 2-112" hose
I request your authorization to donate one 1986 International Pumper and the above
referenced surplus equipment to the Occupational Skill Center.
Thank you in advance for your consideration of this request
