Council approves remount of Ambulance Medic 4, caps cost at about $174,000
Summary
Council voted unanimously to remount the damaged Ambulance Medic 4 onto a new chassis, approving up to approximately $174,000 to keep the box as a spare and source of parts; the measure passed in a roll-call motion at the June 29 workshop.
City Manager David Vaughn described the need to retain the damaged Ambulance Medic 4 so its patient-care box can be remounted on a new chassis, allowing the vehicle to serve as a spare and a source of parts. Vaughn said the remount would require a significant upfront investment but could eliminate the need to purchase a new ambulance in the near term.
Council Member Joyce Laudenschlager moved to approve the remount in an amount not to exceed approximately $174,000. Council Member Anthony Francisco seconded the motion and the motion carried unanimously. The Council did not specify additional funding sources in the workshop minutes.
