End
COUNCIL GOALS:
• Concentrate on Inter-governmental relations by establishing partnerships and positive working relationships with other public agencies providing services to residents and local businesses.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fontana is dedicated to supporting foundations in need. The Fontana Fire District would like to support the Rotary Foundation by donating one fire ladder truck and one fire engine owned by the Fontana Fire District. During a process of downsizing the District’s fleets, these vehicles were recognized as surplus and surpassed its service life. The information on the vehicles is as follows:
Year/Make/Model: 2004 American La France ladder truck
VIN 4Z3HAACK75RU88387
Year/Make/Model: 2004 KME Fire Engine
VIN 1K9AF42854N058814
Rotary Club of Fontana has agreed to accept and take full ownership of the donated vehicle “as is” with no warranty or guarantees from the Fire District. Rotary Club of Fontana has agreed to transfer the fire engine to the City of San Felipe and the ladder truck to the City of Mexicali who will benefit from the use of the vehicle for emergency response purposes. The fire ladder truck and fire engine are twenty (20) years old with no remaining useful life as a District asset.
Given the existing need present and the desire to continually improve the District’s relationships with local foundations, it is recommended that the District donate the vehicle to the Rotary Club of Fontana.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of the donation will direct staff to transfer the property and remove the asset from the District’s records. The asset has no remaining residual value.
MOTION:
Approve staff recommendation.
