CityCouncil | 2005-07-19 | 3 | Mayor Johnson inquired whether the art would be done in limestone. Mr. Nagase responded in the affirmative; stated the angle of the forms would catch the morning and afternoon light. Councilmember deHaan moved approval of the staff recommendation. Councilmember Matarrese seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. (05-349) Recommendation to authorize the Fire Chief to accept the $404,087 Awarding of the Assistance to Firefighters Grant for a firefighting training trailer and authorizing funding for the City's matching portion of $80,817 from the General Fund Reserves. Mayor Johnson requested that future reports include on-going maintenance and operating costs. Councilmember Matarrese inquired whether there was an order of magnitude for the maintenance and operating costs for comparison purposes. The Fire Chief responded that the maintenance costs are expected to be low; the majority of the cost would be for propane gasi there would be an additional cost for moving the trailer out of the area because a diesel truck trailer would be needed. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether the City has a tractor. The Fire Chief responded that he has not checked with the Public Works Department; using a City tractor would be the first choice. Mayor Johnson stated training locally might provide a cost savings. The Fire Chief stated the closest facility for live fire training is Livermore, which is too far away for on-duty personnel: the community was concerned with the smoke generated by the live fire training at the LinOaks Motel. Councilmember deHaan moved approval of the staff recommendation. Councilmember Matarrese seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. (05-350 - ) Recommendation to adopt specifications and authorize Call for Bids for replacement of three (3) marked police vehicles.
