HomeMy WebLinkAboutVIII-05 Accept Donation from Hastings Fire Relief Association to Purchase a Utility Task Vehicle (UTV) and Trailer City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Fasbender & City Councilmembers
From: John Townsend, Fire Chief
Date: July 27, 2022
Item: Accept Donation from Hastings Fire Department Relief Association
Council Action Requested:
Council is asked to accept a donation from the Hastings Fire Department Relief Association in the
amount of $3,300.00 to purchase a used Utility Task Vehicle (UTV) and trailer.
Background Information:
Hastings Fire Department Relief Association is donating $3,300.00 to purchase a used UTV and
trailer. The UTV and trailer being purchased are currently an asset of the Dakota County Special
Operations Team (DCSOT).
The UTV is being replaced due to updated DCSOT equipment. The UTV is a 2008 6X6 Polaris
Ranger Model, including trailer and patient packaging insert. This piece of equipment will replace our
1990’s ATV, snowmobile, and trailer.
The City of Hastings is appreciative to the Hastings Fire Department Relief Association for their
generous contribution.
Financial Impact: This donation removes the need to purchase a UTV/Trailer; this item has been in
the CIP/CEP for a number of years. This will allow us to move that CIP/CEP item into the future.
There is a five to ten-year lifespan on this piece of equipment. Current CIP/CEP has the replacement
of this equipment for 2023 with a cost of approximately $45,000.
