To the Honorable Board:
I hereby request, subject to the approval of your Honorable Board, an appropriation in the amount of one million one-hundred twenty-five thousand dollars ($1,125,000.00) and authorization to borrow one million one-hundred twenty-five thousand dollars for the purchase of a replacement ladder truck for Tower #1.
I respectfully request authorization for the City Treasurer to borrow $1,125,000.00 to meet said appropriation.
This request is to replace the 18-year old tower ladder. This is a part of the Fire Department evaluation-recommended apparatus replacement plan. In accordance with NFPA 1901, the spare ladder that will be replaced will be 24 years old.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Respectfully submitted,
Joseph A. Curtatone
