Fire Commission approves donation of retired ambulance to SFUSD Health Academy
Summary
The Commission unanimously approved Resolution 2017-3 recommending donation of retired ambulance vehicle 145-737 (a 2000 Ford F450) to the San Francisco Unified School District Health Academy at John O'Connell High School for training purposes; transfer of title and liability sign-off will be coordinated with the City Administrator's Office.
The San Francisco Fire Commission voted to approve Resolution 2017-3 on Sept. 13 recommending that the Board of Supervisors authorize donation of one retired departmental ambulance to the San Francisco Unified School District's Health Academy at John O'Connell High School.
Mark Corso, finance and planning, told commissioners the vehicle identified for donation is "vehicle 145-737, a 2000 Ford F450 ambulance" that is no longer operationally used by the department and would serve as a training aid for the Health Academy students. Corso said the department received two new ambulances, allowing it to identify older units for educational donation.
Commissioner Francie Covington moved the item; after a brief discussion Commissioner Joe Alioto Veronese asked about liability and transfer procedures. Corso said the donation will proceed through the Fire Commission to the full Board of Supervisors and the department will work with the City Administrator's Office on transfer of title and sign-off of liability to the school district.
The Commission recorded a second and approved the resolution by voice vote. There were no public comments on the item at the hearing.
Next steps: the matter will be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors for final authorization and the department will coordinate title transfer and liability documentation with the City Administrator's Office.
