Donation of Surpll'i Pumper
December 3, 2007
As I'm sure you all recall, earlier in the year, you approved the donation of a surplus
pumper to the Puget Sound Occupational Skills Center (formerly know as the SeaTac
Occupational Skills Center). Just prior to taking the apparatus out of service, one of the
intake valves failed resulting in significant damage to the vehicle. The skills center could
not afford to pay for repairs so the apparatus was subsequently donated to the Salmon
River Volunteer Fire Department in Idaho.
With the second replacement pumper is in service, we are now in a position to donate the
surplus apparatus to the skills center. As it turns out, one of their program vehicles has a
cracked head that they cannot afford to fix so the donation is perfectly timed!
We have hosted the skill center's summer school program the last four years and plan to
continue doing so. Each summer we see a diverse group of young men and women
practicing the skills they have learned throughout the year in a safe controlled
environment. In my opinion, this is a program worth supporting through the donation of
our surplus pumper.
I will be present at the finance and safety meeting to answer any questions you have
regarding this matter.
