RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, one of the most important pieces of equipment to a firefighter is their Self-contained Breathing Apparatus “SCBA”; and,

Fire Chief

Ald. Bergman moved for the adoption of the resolution, seconded by Ald. Bauer, and on the roll call each of the 12

Aldermen voted yea, with 2 absent. Motion carried.

RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, the City of Quincy Central Services has a frontline snow/sewer truck that has bad injectors and an oil pump that needs replacing.

WHEREAS, this truck is currently at Rush because the engine won’t start. Rush said the injectors and oil pump are bad on a 2008 International 7400 4X2 Truck #46. Low oil pressure will take out bearings and keep it from starting which is what needs replacing. The importance of this job is, if they do the work, it will have a warranty. If we don’t do this it could cost us an engine.

WHEREAS, funds have been appropriated in the current Fiscal Year Budget for this type of repair,

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Director of Central Services and the Central Services Committee recommend to the Mayor and the City Council that Rush Truck Center, in the amount of $3,900, be paid to install new

injectors and an oil pump in Snow/Sewer Truck #46.
