FROM: Mark J. Holmes, Fire Chi~~~j~j~--
DATE: February 5, 2007
SUBJECT: Request Declaration of Excess Property and Authorize Sale
Included in the 2007 fire department capital improvements projects budget, was the
purchase for two (2) ambulance stretchers. When purchased, the fire department will
have two (2) excess stretchers. One of the stretchers will be kept and used for training
and testing of new and existing staff. The stretcher will also serve as a back-up in the
event one of our stretchers would require repairs or maintenance.
In discussion with my counterparts in Cottage Grove, Minnesota, they have need and
would desire to purchase a stretcher for similar purposes. In the past, stretchers, when
retired, have been disposed of and not considered of value for resale. I am requesting that
City of Hastings place a $50.00 value and authorize transfer of ownership to the City of
Cottage Grove, Minnesota.
If you should have any questions regarding this request, please feel free to contact me at
any time. My cellular phone is the best way to reach me at 651-775-5545. I will be
attending the February 5, 2007, council meeting, if you should have any questions at that
time.
Requested Action: Council authorization to declare ambulance stretcher as excess property and
transfer ownership to the City of Cottage Grove, Minnesota for the sale price of $50.00.
