BACKGROUND INFORMATION: During the past year the Fire Department has replaced all of the

donated for their use. The agencies that have requested surplus equipment are the Woodbridge Fire
Protection District, Lodi Unified School District Regional Occupational Program (LUSD ROP), San
Joaquin Delta College Public Safety Department (SJDC PSD), and the City of Ione Fire Department.
The surplus inventory consists of 23 SCBA Packs with regulators and PASS devices, 43 SCBA masks,
and 55 cylinders.
The Lodi Fire Department recommends that the surplus equipment be provided to the requesting
agencies in the following manner:
1. 12 SCBA masks to Woodbridge Fire to assist in completing the goals of the grant.
2. 10 SCBA packs with one (1) mask each and including two (2) cylinders to LUSD ROP.
3. 10 SCBA packs with one (1) mask each and including two (2) cylinders to SJDC PSD.
