Item No. 15-040
Date: December 22, 2014
Item/Subject: Order, Authorizing the Fire Department to Apply for $23,209.90 in Grant Funds
from the Stephen and Tabitha King Foundation.
Responsible Department: Fire
Commentary: This Order would authorize the Fire Department to apply for $23,209.90 in grant
funds from the King Foundation to purchase a washer/extractor and dryer to clean turnout gear.
It is important from a safety and use perspective that this gear be cleaned thoroughly and
immediately after it has been exposed to hazardous materials and situations. The current washer
and dryer have limited capacity, while the new units will be able to handle multiple sets of gear at
the same time. Through the efficient cleaning of the turnout gear, the service life of gear should
be extended as well.
This was reviewed and recommended for approval at the December 15, 2014 Government
Operations Committee meeting.
