Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding the declaration of surplus equipment items at the City of San Luis Fire Department and authorizing the disposal by donation to various Fire Departments in Mexico and the Arizona Western College Fire Academy.  (Hank Green, Fire Chief)

The City of San Luis Fire Department was the recipient of a FEMA Assistance to Firefighter Grant (AFG) to purchase new personal protective equipment (PPE) and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).  It would be more costly to the City to attempt to auction the items than the items are worth to the City and the benefit to the suggested agencies will far out weigh the revenues received.

All items requested under this grant have been purchased, received and distributed to our personnel, resulting in the accumulation of the old gear and equipment.  Some of this gear and equipment still have a service life and some must be taken out of service by FEMS grant criteria.

We also have some equipment that is being taken out of service because of recent Capital Equipment purchases and have some service life to them, either with minimal service or repairs or could be utilized until a future maintenance issue would be cost prohibitive or preclude purchase of a critical part.

San Luis Fire Department is suggesting the following regarding the disposal of gear and equipment:

Bomberos de México: possibly San Luis Rio Colorado, Santa Clara Del Golfo and/or Puerto Peñasco.
