City Council Agenda Report
City of Scandia
14727 209`h St. North
Scandia, MN 55073 (651)433-2274
Action Requested: Set a date to meet with the Fire Department to review the
specifications for the rescue truck replacement.
Deadline/ Timeline: N/A
Background: • The 2010 budget and equipment replacement program call for
completing the build-out of the replacement fire rescue truck on
the chassis purchased in 2009. The total cost is estimated at
$220,000. The build-out is subject to public bidding requirements.
• The Fire Department submitted a draft set of specifications, which
was distributed to the City Council at the December 15 meeting.
The next step will be for the Council to approve the specifications
and advertisement for bids.
• It is has been suggested that the Council may wish to meet with
the Fire Department committee that has worked on the
specifications to review the document. Two potential meeting
dates have been identified: Wednesday, February 3 at 6:00 p.m.
(prior to the scheduled Council and Planning Commission
meetings) or Wednesday, February 10 (time to be determined.)
Recommendation: I recommend that the Council select a date to meet with the Fire
Deparhnent to review the truck specifications. The meeting could be
a special meeting of the full Council, or the Council could decide to
assign this to a subcommittee that could report back to the full Council
at the February 16 meeting.
