Chief O’Connor presented and went over the specifications of the apparatus along with photographs. Chief stated that
although the photos looked good it is unknown as to when they were taken. The discussion involved a maximum dollar amount that the Board was willing to pay, requirements prior to making an offer of purchase and details around how physical possession of the water tender could be achieved.

It was decided that Chief O’Connor’s statement to first have a third party inspection done of the water tender was the best first step. If the inspection showed the apparatus to be in good condition, then Chief and Capt Cain would fly to Virginia and conduct an on-site inspection. If they were in agreement about an acceptable condition, then an offer for purchase could be made. The offer to be made would not exceed $275,000.00.

from the Future Equipment Acquisition (0734). It was seconded by Peterson. The Chair called for a vote of Commissioners and it is recorded as follows:

Ayes – Commissioners Wilson, Anderson, Petersen Nayes – Commissioner Reis

The motion carried.
