BACKGROUND <br /> When the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department receives new fire apparatus, the <br /> oldest, most worn of the fleet is surplused. This surplused apparatus has typically 25 to <br /> 30 years of service life, and is no longer financially feasible to maintain. Due to the <br /> flood of used apparatus on the market, these units usually sell for the price of scrap. <br /> Pleasanton currently has two fire engines have virtually no value in the United States, <br /> they are highly desired by our sister city in Mexico, Tulancingo. These engines, while <br /> past their useful and cost effective service life, are highly desired by the Tulancingo Fire <br /> Department, and would be newer and more serviceable than about 50% or their current <br /> fire apparatus. <br /> The Pleasanton Downtown Rotary Club and the Tulancingo Sister City organization <br /> have agreed to work together to fund the transport of these engines to Mexico, and get <br /> them to our sister city. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> This declaration of surplus equipment will save the City money in maintenance costs and <br /> greatly enhance the apparatus inventory of the Tulancingo, Mexico Fire Department. <br /> S elk- itted by: / Fiscal Review: <br /> , Approve by: <br /> 0// >��, ' <br /> Ja �Migu- Emily E.
