after this finished 78 00:08:07,020 --> 00:08:16,380 this is not set in stone it's not even solid 79 00:08:12,599 --> 00:08:23,160 I will mention it but it may or may not happen that's going to 80 00:08:19,860 --> 00:08:27,560 depend on how things fall together there there is no 81 00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:34,380 um Foster Care Center 82 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:39,360 anywhere in the vicinity or if they're false the kid 83 00:08:36,020 --> 00:08:47,940 has to be taken from the home and sent somewhere the closest place is Houston 84 00:08:44,459 --> 00:08:53,100 and uh that's for many of the surrounding 85 00:08:50,279 --> 00:09:00,120 counties I believe but we have a group that is interested 86 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:04,500 and using the front part of the building for a 87 00:09:02,580 --> 00:09:10,620 foster care Center 88 00:09:05,820 --> 00:09:19,620 which would bring in 30 plus jobs so we're exploring those possibilities 89 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:27,420 and when we get here a point where it looks like it will go we will come 90 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:34,279 back to the city council and try to get the city to involved with a 91 00:09:32,519 --> 00:09:39,000 Texas capital capital fund 92 00:09:37,500 --> 00:09:46,140 and uh money if we get that far 93 00:09:43,019 --> 00:09:52,980 I'm sure that the building will be of value not just to the city but to the 94 00:09:51,540 --> 00:09:59,040 surrounding being areas 95 00:09:54,320 --> 00:10:02,220 and uh bringing income and and I might not have to come back 96 00:10:00,779 --> 00:10:07,560 uh well from the

business we thank the new pair of the water tanks 169 00:16:44,100 --> 00:16:49,620 so we got seven bids two of them we had to return because they were after the 170 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:54,959 deadline I know those five bids they range from 171 00:16:51,779 --> 00:17:00,000 500 000 approximately to over 1.1 million 172 00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:05,520 and the low bed as you can see this version eliminators which happens to be 173 00:17:02,459 --> 00:17:09,000 a little company but in the process of reviewing the bed as it turned out that 174 00:17:07,140 --> 00:17:14,760 they left out a significant piece in their heart and they could not honor the 175 00:17:10,919 --> 00:17:20,819 bid at at the price that they quoted so we had essentially because of that and 176 00:17:17,220 --> 00:17:27,419 some other concerns we had talked to the risk pool insurance adjuster he compared 177 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,419 the Departments 178 00:17:28,500 --> 00:17:31,500 thanks 179 00:17:41,220 --> 00:17:49,500 any questions just real quick of the ones that remain 180 00:17:47,220 --> 00:17:53,820 that you're asking us to reject did their bids take in full scope of 181 00:17:51,660 --> 00:18:00,360 work and meet everything that we were trying to to accomplish though yes sir 182 00:17:57,120 --> 00:18:06,200 except for one which turned out to be a concern to us and 183 00:18:02,940 --> 00:18:06,200 essentially they were 184 00:18:06,539 --> 00:18:12,900 an aggregator is the best way I can put they just go out and hire a cruise to go 185 00:18:10,620 -->

00:20:08,160 Grant to the Federal Emergency Management agents for purchase of a 210 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:11,820 rescue slash engine yes for Mr Mayor and Council we'd like 211 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:15,900 to ask for your support of the 212 00:20:13,100 --> 00:20:21,539 resolution to uh approve us submit the Grant application 213 00:20:18,419 --> 00:20:26,580 for the purchase of a fire truck to replace three aging trucks we'd like to 214 00:20:24,660 --> 00:20:31,740 maybe get something in the neighborhood of any pumper or still 215 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:35,820 exploring that Avenue something that we can use for dual purposes and it will be 216 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:41,520 used for here's Anne for the paid Department 217 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:46,559 as well it'll respond in the city and also outside the city of the county it's 218 00:20:43,860 --> 00:20:53,700 what volunteers mostly use it for auto extrication rescue type purposes 219 00:20:50,100 --> 00:20:56,539 can do the dual use of it we can get rid of three with 220 00:20:59,460 --> 00:21:01,460 it 221 00:21:04,260 --> 00:21:09,679 with the trucks that in the event this would be awarded 222 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:19,679 you understand that I might assume that in your bid you've 223 00:21:16,740 --> 00:21:24,059 also built in other equipment as part of the truck or do you just are you just 224 00:21:22,260 --> 00:21:28,380 trying to bid the truck just the truck right now and okay we're kind of 225 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:33,900 exploring this because we it's a mini pumper by definition attack 226 00:21:31,799 --> 00:21:38,820 drug you know it depends on who you talk to I don't want to buy something just to 227 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:46,020 buy something but we wanted to do a job for not wanting to own a load 228 00:21:43,380 --> 00:21:52,559 a concern right now I'm trying to hit the specific size truck in this in this 229 00:21:48,780 --> 00:21:57,059 reminds you range the next range up is another hundred thousand right so if we 230 00:21:55,440 --> 00:22:01,919 can make it work that's what we can relax 231 00:21:58,740 --> 00:22:06,000 is there sufficient NFPA compliant equipment on the other trucks 232 00:22:04,260 --> 00:22:11,179 that you would be able to pretty much equip this truck without much difficulty 233 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:17,159 yes sir it what we want is a pump that's capable 234 00:22:14,460 --> 00:22:23,100 of at least 1000 mid-ship Pawn purchases of PTO or an 235 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:28,140 auxiliary pump use it on some structure fires with its limited size we're not 236 00:22:25,980 --> 00:22:31,320 going to have like a full engine we won't be able to put a thousand four to 237 00:22:29,700 --> 00:22:36,659 five inch on it we'll only have probably 400 feet but it'll be somewhat like a 238 00:22:34,559 --> 00:22:39,559 quick attack and then we can get a water supply to it 239 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:48,980 it will be able to carry some sevas and most likely it will be a crew cab for 240 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,980 four people 241 00:22:49,260 --> 00:22:55,159 Bill Kerry we're not sure yet but the weight thing three to 242 00:22:58,500 --> 00:23:06,419 three that'd be something when you get a call to check on a smoke alarm 243 00:23:04,620 --> 00:23:12,360 or something you'd take a smaller truck than the bigger one out or 244 00:23:09,360 --> 00:23:16,440 just had my culture well you know it's very difficult because you never know 245 00:23:14,580 --> 00:23:20,700 what you have until you get there yeah and you take the small one underneath 246 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:25,140 the big one while you're too late for that um 247 00:23:21,780 --> 00:23:30,840 uh what I really envisioned it mostly doing is that the volunteers will use it 248 00:23:28,679 --> 00:23:35,159 because they do auto extrication rescue on this side of the account they'll use 249 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:41,039 it through that use it to see they'll run calls out of back to us uh things 250 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:45,960 like that I think we will use it mostly if our engine or our Quince in the shop 251 00:23:43,159 --> 00:23:50,419 and things like that we'll use it to fill in it won't be a first line 252 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:56,100 apparatus for the Department per se it could be used as that 253 00:23:53,580 --> 00:24:00,600 temporarily but I think it's mostly for the restroom is what we're trying to do 254 00:23:58,500 --> 00:24:02,780 and trying to get that other use out of it 255 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:11,820 less maintenance on one and then it is 30 the three are pretty 256 00:24:09,299 --> 00:24:16,620 much they were built before NFPA started specking trucks so they don't meet much 257 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:24,780 of a standard safety thank you any other questions 258 00:24:21,780 --> 00:24:28,460 so I got a question on on the city's share 259 00:24:25,740 --> 00:24:28,460 chief 260 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,200 the application is approved 261 00:24:34,140 --> 00:24:40,340 normally approved in old or is there a possibility that they may come back with 262 00:24:38,940 --> 00:24:45,419 less than normally approved in whole in our 263 00:24:42,900 --> 00:24:49,760 Pursuits by our size city for this particular time 264 00:24:46,980 --> 00:24:49,760 next time 265 00:24:53,400 --> 00:25:00,200 let's play through the council move that we approve resolution 266 00:24:58,260 --> 00:25:08,039 authorizing submission application for afg to FEMA to purchase a rescue engine 267 00:25:04,340 --> 00:25:11,880 to approve the resolution all in favor any opposed 268 00:25:10,020 --> 00:25:16,880 and extensions it passes 6-0 269 00:25:14,460 --> 00:25:21,360 go to item number 11 and Page 19. consider a recreation authorized the 270 00:25:19,620 --> 00:25:25,919 submission of the application for the assistance firefighter grants to 271 00:25:23,460 --> 00:25:30,860 Federal Emergency Management Agency for self-contained breathing apparatus and 272 00:25:28,559 --> 00:25:30,860 purchase 273 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:43,980 is the same resolution is asking for FEMA to uh find Grace on us to help us 274 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:48,720 buy some new scbas we have some that are 90 275 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:54,179 sermon in FPA and they were bought in 1999 so they're fairly well aged some of 276 00:25:52,740 --> 00:26:00,559 the bottles have expired and we've purchased some new bottles but they're 277 00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,559 low pressure they don't need any of the 278 00:26:01,020 --> 00:26:07,500 to go through two and then you start thinking about Replacements so they've 279 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:13,020 had a long lengthy life and we had to have them serviced every 280 00:26:10,260 --> 00:26:17,100 year and flow tested and currently they're working we have 281 00:26:15,059 --> 00:26:24,120 several that aren't but we still have enough right now to keep us in operation 282 00:26:20,940 --> 00:26:27,059 so we're asking them again and what I understand 283 00:26:25,559 --> 00:26:33,360 we've talked to some people that ride grants professionally and this here is 284 00:26:30,120 --> 00:26:37,620 their big pushes on SCBA so we're hoping that we've been very conservative in the 285 00:26:35,100 --> 00:26:44,820 amount we're asking for to try to get them to approve this grant for us 286 00:26:41,460 --> 00:26:49,260 any questions coming which plan is because we were holding 287 00:26:48,120 --> 00:26:55,260 out hope that you know which made that Final Cut 288 00:26:52,320 --> 00:27:00,779 on that last cycle what's the plan if AF if we don't get 289 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:07,140 the afg this year Chief the only plan that would be available in my mind that 290 00:27:03,779 --> 00:27:10,520 I know of is to ask in the budget to provide us with Air Max 291 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:21,480 I'll just I'll just kind of go on record um I mean I I support you applying for 292 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:26,640 the grant I really wish you'd also bring us a bid 293 00:27:23,580 --> 00:27:30,799 on you know four or six units so that we can go on a head start 294 00:27:27,900 --> 00:27:36,179 upgrading this part of the reason why I supported the tax increase was so we 295 00:27:34,140 --> 00:27:41,460 would have some extra and didn't get the afg grant so that the 296 00:27:38,700 --> 00:27:46,140 firefighters wouldn't be using frankly let's admit it it's out of date 297 00:27:44,039 --> 00:27:49,380 and it's borderline equipment even though it passes 298 00:27:47,580 --> 00:27:55,380 16 years old is a little bit ridiculous on SCBA 299 00:27:52,140 --> 00:28:00,659 that's not acceptable yeah and I I would really like to see 300 00:27:57,900 --> 00:28:03,900 you bring that in to the council as the chief 301 00:28:01,500 --> 00:28:09,419 a bid on at least four Scots I don't pick what brands you want that you would 302 00:28:06,419 --> 00:28:13,740 try and get with this but bring in some because the guys we need to start 303 00:28:11,700 --> 00:28:18,539 phasing that in even if it's over a three year period to get rid of all this 304 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:24,620 old junk and get some new up-to-date stuff for our guys you're correct as you 305 00:28:21,659 --> 00:28:24,620 just stated with the brand 306 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:32,700 the yes ran together so we don't have two that 307 00:28:30,120 --> 00:28:35,000 don't match up that's another safety concern 308 00:28:38,220 --> 00:28:44,539 anything else let's play through Council maybe improve 309 00:28:42,659 --> 00:28:50,360 the resolution second to approve the resolution all in favor 310 00:28:47,159 --> 00:28:57,840 all right any opposed extensions item number 12. 311 00:28:55,200 --> 00:29:01,820 thank you Tammy move to approved I'm sorry I 312 00:29:02,299 --> 00:29:05,360 so much
