Title
Authorizing the Fire Department to donate a 1984 E-One ladder truck to Rapid Recovery.
Body
WHEREAS, Chapter 2.02 of the Saint Paul Administrative Code authorizes the Division of Contract and Analysis Services to dispose of surplus city property and sets for the procedures governing the sale or donation of such property; and
WHEREAS, the 1984 E-One ladder truck was being used for extrication purposes in the collapse training field at the Saint Paul Fire Department Training located at 1683 Energy Park Drive, and
WHEREAS, Rapid Recovery was able to remove what was remaining of the ladder truck, and
WHEREAS, the ladder truck may be transferred to the organization for no consideration, and
WHEREAS, the ladder truck has a total estimated value of $5,000.00, and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the 1984 E-One ladder truck is no longer needed to carry out departmental functions and is obsolete, and
WHEREAS, the City Council's transfer of the ladder truck to Rapid Recovery would be a City function and serve a public purpose because Rapid Recovery donated the services to remove the ladder truck and they in turn used the ladder truck for tow training for their operators, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, that the City Council hereby authorizes the donation of the above described obsolete property to Rapid Recovery, and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that said organization shall take responsibility for removing the obsolete property from City premises in a manner and in accordance with the time line mutually agreed upon with the Saint Paul Fire Department and shall bear all costs associated with the removal and transportation of the designated obsolete property and agrees to accept the property as is; and be it
FINALLY RESOLVED, that upon the donation, the City shall have no further responsibility for said property and shall not provide any warranty, maintenance, repair, technical assistance, or any other kind of ongoing support, nor assume any costs that may be related to the ongoing use of the property by Rapid Recovery.
