COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
RECOMMENDED ACTION

1948 Chevrolet Ba rnett ) donated to Fire division of Safety Serv ices by the members of the
E ng lewood Volunteer fi re department wou ld become the permanent property of the City of
E ng lewood .
BACKGROUND , ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
In the mid 1980's the Eng lewood Volunteer fire department stopped operat iona l functions in the
C ity of Englewoo d. They have had in their possession two pieces of ant ique fire equ ipment. One
is a 1930 Model A pumper, th e other a 1948 Chevrolet Barnett ambulance. Because storage,
maint enance and d isplay of th e equ ipment has become problematic, it is the des ire of the retired
volunteer members to do nate this equ ipment to the City of Englewood for use by the Fire D ivi sion
of Safety Serv ices for publi c education and publi c relation type events . In exchange for the use of
equipment the fire division agrees to prov irl e maintenance and proper sto ra ge .
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Cosmetic maintenance of the equ ipment and storage can be provided w ithout any add itional
costs . The necessary mechanical maintenance, i.e., oil changes , tune-ups, lube jobs, etc. can be
facili tate d through the city servicenter . Annual cost estimates would not exceed $1000 .00 for both
un its .
