Summary

Fire Chief Mitch Metzger said the city brought a new engine into service and proposed declaring an older engine surplus and trading it with Adams County District Fire District 7 for a work truck needed by public works; council approved the trade as required by municipal code.

Fire Chief Mitch Metzger told council the department recently placed a new fire engine into service and that the city has an extra apparatus it proposes to declare surplus. Metzger said staff identified an opportunity to trade the surplus engine to Adams County District Fire District 7 in exchange for a work truck useful to the public-works fleet.

City legal counsel explained the municipal code requires council approval for noncash consideration trades; the council moved and approved the resolution authorizing the exchange during the consent agenda vote.

Council approved the trade unanimously, enabling staff to complete the exchange and update fleet inventories.
