Commission approves $150,000 purchase of used fire truck for Natoma Station
Summary
The board authorized buying a used truck from Orange County Emergency Service District 3 (Little Cypress, TX) for $150,000 to serve the Natoma Station; the seller-based HVAC issue was noted and the motion passed unanimously.
Waldo Paradise Natoma Fire #3 Chief Dustin Finkenbinder presented photos and a FaceTime walkthrough of a used fire truck offered by Orange County Emergency Service District 3 in Little Cypress, Texas, with an asking price of $150,000. Finkenbinder reported the heating and air conditioning did not work and said he would ask the seller to repair it or proceed at the full asking price.
Alan Kuntzsch moved to purchase the truck for the Natoma Station for $150,000; Steve Reinhardt seconded and the board approved the purchase unanimously. The minutes record that the county may need to place a down payment (possibly 10%) to hold the apparatus and that Finkenbinder had conducted a remote inspection via FaceTime.
