TITLE
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE TRANSFER OF $3,000 FROM THE
CONTINGENCIES ACCOUNT IN THE 2005 GENERAL FUND BUDGET TO
THE OUT OF CYCLE REQUESTS TO FUND THE PURCHASING OF THE 1928
AMERICAN LA FRANCE HOOK AND LADDER TRUCK FOR THE PUEBLO
FIREFIGHTERS HISTORICAL SOCIETY
ISSUE
The Pueblo Firefighters Historical Society (PFHS) is seeking to purchase a 1928
American La France Hook and Ladder Truck ( "Old Truck No. 1 ") from a group of
owners in Salida, Colorado. This truck was once part of the Pueblo Fire
Department inventory that subsequently was sold in 1953. 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).
