AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving Donation of Retired Self-contained Breathing
Apparatus (SCBA) and Surplus Turnouts to the Lodi Unified School District
Regional Occupation Fire Science Technology Program
MEETING DATE: February 17,2010
PREPARED B Y Kevin Donnelly, Fire Chief
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution approving donation of retired Self-contained
Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) and surplus turnouts to the Lodi
Unified School District Regional Occupation Fire Science
Technology Program.
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.
