The current owners of "Old Truck No. 1" are asking $6,000 for this vintage piece of fire equipment, and the PFHS would like to see this historical fire truck returned to the City. The PFHS is asking the City of Pueblo to donate $3,000, with other donations coming from Little Caesars ($1,000), the IAFF Local #3 ($1,000), and the Pueblo Firefighters Historical Society itself will contribute $1,000. RECOMMENDATION Resolution is at the request of Councilman Thurston. FINANCIAL IMPACT Funds in the amount of $3,000 will be transferred from the Contingencies Account in the 2005 General Fund Budget (see attached spreadsheet for the balance in the contingencies account).
