SUBJECT: Donation of Fire Department Vehicle
INTRODUCTION
This report recommends that a surplus Fire Department vehicle be
donated to the Volunteer Fire Department of Mazatlan, Sinaloa,
Mexico.
BACKGROUND
In the past, the city of Santa Monica has donated surplus Fire
Department equipment and apparatus to the Mazatlan Fire
Department under the auspices of the sister cities Program. The
last donation occurred in 1986 when a 1961 Pirsch Aerial/Pumper
was delivered to the Mazatlan Volunteer Fire Department.
A 1981 Chevrolet Malibu 4 door sedan, currently being used by the
Training Division, has been budgeted for replacement because of
the vehicle's mileage of approximately 90,000 miles. Auction
value is estimated by the Purchasing Department to be only
$500.00.
The Fire Chief of Mazatlan, currently responds to emergencies on
a three wheel motorcycle so that procurement of this vehicle by
Mazatlan will upgrade their operations.
