Fire chief asks city to sign 36‑month letter of intent for ladder truck
Summary
Fire Chief Darren Ramirez asked the Plaquemine Board to sign a letter of intent that would lock in purchase terms for a new ladder fire truck for up to 36 months; the committee discussed the request but took no formal procurement action.
Fire Chief Darren Ramirez told the Board of Selectmen on Jan. 27 that his department needs a new ladder fire truck and requested that the city sign a letter of intent to lock pricing and terms for up to 36 months.
Chief Ramirez emphasized the department's operational need but did not present a procurement contract, cost estimate, or funding source during the committee discussion. The minutes record his request as a proposal rather than a formal motion or purchase authorization.
City leaders did not vote or authorize funding at the meeting; the matter remains a discussion item pending whatever procurement and budgetary steps the city requires.
