BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Fire Department has surplus turnouts that no longer offer appropriate protection for live fire activity. The turnouts failed to pass either a moisture barrier or thermal linertest and were found to be insufficient for fire -related activity. They may be utilized for non -firefighting activities and have been permanently marked for training use only. The Fire Department currently utilizes these turnouts for our training academy and has an excess inventory of this equipment. The SCBAs were received through a grant in 1996 and were utilized until 2006-2007, at which time they were taken out of service. The Fire Department requests that the SCBAs be removed from the fixed asset records and that the seven turnout pants, 10 turnout jackets, two pairs of firefighting gloves, four SCBAs, four SCBA bottles, and two SCBA masks be donated to the Lodi Unified School District Regional Occupation Fire Science Technology Program. The City Attorney's Office will draft a hold harmless agreement in favor of the City to be executed by LUSD in consideration for the donation. FISCAL IMPACT: The SCBAs and turnouts do not meet current standards. Donating the equipment will free storage space and provide equipment for a limited budget fire science program that has directly impacted the fire department and the City of Lodi with 15 current employees that are graduates from the program. FUNDING AVAILABLE: KD/1h Attachment No City funds will be expended to accomplish this donation.
