A
A
Second
item
Declaration
of
conflicts
of
interest
in
the
City
Council
regarding
any
agenda
item,
any
conflicts
of
interest
to
hear
you
know,
consider
Arthur
Isaac
minutes
of
the
following
meetings:
December
30,
2016,
council
meeting,
November,
28,
2016
council
meeting
in
January,
the
third
2017
organizational
council
meeting.
Don't
I
get
any
questions
or
comments
on
any
of
the
minutes.
All
those
in
favor
approved
consent.
E
F
A
F
Based
upon
the
motor
tolling,
that's
been
put
into
place
in
the
marijuana
dispensary,
the
Planning
Board's
reviewed
the
medical
marijuana
or
coordinates
of
recommending
no
changes
be
made
of
that
portion
of
the
city
ordinance.
Okay,
I
request
see
more
time
to
look
at
the
recreational
marijuana
side
of
the
law
they
would
like
to
do.
A
workshop
with
the
council
would
be
to
invited
to
attend
to
discuss
the
topic
further,
if
not
set
a
date
yet.
F
G
F
Workshop
is
to
learn
more
about
the
topic,
so
we're
not
behind
the
eight
ball
when
the
law
does.
That
goes
into
effect.
That
mean
the
legislature
may
or
may
not
change
a
few
things.
The
rules
might
take
a
while
from
the
Department
of
Agriculture
I,
think
they've
good
their
say
on
it.
So
it's
really
I
mean
it's
not
to
craft
a
final
version
of
an
artist,
but
just
to
start
the
process
of
learning,
more
information.
G
H
D
E
A
D
F
International
co-counsels
come
up
with
a
2015
version
of
the
property
maintenance
code
staff
is
recommending
we
upgrade
to
the
new
version.
Copies
of
the
full
code
are
available
for
review
here
at
City,
Hall
and
online.
The
ordinances
on
the
next
page,
which
can
be
introduced
tonight
in
the
public
trans,
did
look
for
our
next
meeting.
On
the
point,
though,.
F
E
E
A
F
Can't
really
hear
you're
going
on
so
tonight.
I'll
read
the
memo
that
the
fire
chief's
provided.
Tonight's
representing
a
proposal,
will
replace
engine
one
at
the
fire
station
engine.
One
is
our
first
I.
First,
do
our
first
out
and
primary
class
a
pumper,
our
only
class
I
humbert.
During
the
2017
budget
process.
We
noted
the
truck
we
would
need
replacement
before
its
25-year
age
because
of
what
was
thought
to
be
corrosion
issue
with
a
front
cab.
F
Support
on
recommendation
from
the
council's
chief
susi
had
a
certified
DVT
emergency
vehicle
technician
come
in
and
do
a
complete
inspection
of
the
truck
cab
for
the
safety
of
our
firefighters,
the
public
road
with
and
respond
to
for
emergencies.
So
on
December
6,
2016,
Curtis
tagil,
the
certified
EVT
performed
a
limited
inspection
on
the
caribou
engine.
1
the
inspection
was
limited
to
visual
inspection.
The
information
gathered
was
provided
a
caribou
fire
and
the
management
team
to
evaluate
the
condition
of
this
fire
apparatus.
F
What
was
first
thought
to
be
a
corrosion
issue
turned
out
to
be
structural
faults.
The
following
are
the
details
and
suspicions
regarding
this
piece
of
equipment.
An
exterior
inspection
of
the
cab
reveals
stress
cracks
at
different
points
around
the
cab
structure.
Hairline
fractures
exists
from
the
top
rear
to
the
front
face
panel.
The
underside
of
the
cab
reveals
more
aggressive,
cracking
around
the
radiator
support
floor
pan
and
the
cab
exterior
skin.
These
cracks
are
in
the
finish
in
the
cab
skin
area,
the
occupant
compartment.
F
F
The
most
of
your
part
of
the
structure
damages
the
failure
of
the
main
structure,
support
of
the
camera,
the
main
aluminum
beam,
supporting
the
cab
and
the
surrounding
reinforcements
have
severe
cracks
in
the
structure
along
with
cracking
/.
Failure
of
the
welds
securing
the
cab
rollover
structure
to
the
mainframe.
Also
very
evident
is
the
complete
cab
has
dropped
down
from
the
sagging
of
the
main
structure
and
is
hitting
the
front
bumper
cover
plate
and
under
an
upper
side
of
the
vehicle
frame
rails.
F
The
cab
tilts
hydraulics
are
straining
to
lift
the
cab
due
to
the
conditions
men.
In
addition
to
this
issue,
the
apparatus
has
been
having
electrical
issues,
such
as
failure
of
hydraulic
system
for
cab,
tilt
overheating,
the
electrical
panel
erratic
engine
gauges,
inaccurate
gauges
and
cab,
and
a
total
melting
of
the
overhead
switch
panel.
At
this
time,
we
suspect
that
undue
mechanical
pressure
from
the
cab
way
distressing
the
main
wiring
harness.
F
So
in
order
to
provide
a
greater
detail
of
severity
of
the
condition
of
the
scene,
engine
one
would
need
to
be
completely
stripped
to
the
finish.
Trim
from
the
interior
of
the
vehicle
remove
the
floor,
covering
the
ceiling
liner
and
driver
passenger
seats
to
accurately
detail
all
the
failures
that
are
occurring
in
him.
The
department
has
received
an
electronic
file
of
the
photos
taken
of
what
could
immediately
be
seen
during
the
inspection
note
that
the
door
frames
are
also
cracked
in
the
hinge
areas
of
the
entrance
doors.
The
inspection
concluded
with
a
recommendation.
F
This
vehicle
be
removed
from
service
until
a
thorough
inspection
can
be
performed.
Judging
from
the
current
evidence
seen
during
the
inspection,
safety
of
this
vehicle
has
been
severely
compromised
and
grades,
a
safety
issue
for
both
the
public
and
the
department
person
held
since
the
inspection.
The
current
response
structure
has
been
changed
for
the
department
to
accommodate
this
recommendation.
That's
putting
more
strain
on
her
remaining
flee,
the
starting
price
for
a
complete
inspection
in
general
repairs,
168
thousand
dollars-
and
this
includes
an
eight
thousand
dollar
engineer
review.
B
F
Parts
would
have
to
be
manufactured
because
the
company
that
makes
the
chassis
for
the
truck
went
out
of
business
three
years
ago.
This
type
of
work
is
estimated
to
take
between
five
and
six
months
and
with
no
upgrades
just
fixing
the
issues
noted
and
still
leaving
the
city
with
a
20
year
old
truck
in
an
effort
to
try
and
save
money
and
improve
efficiency.
My
recommendation
would
be
to
replace
engine
one
with
a
rescue
pumper,
which
is
two
trucks
in
one.
F
The
city
could
trade
our
rescue
truck
in
and
place
the
old
engine
out
a
bit
no
company
would
want
the
truck
due
to
the
age.
The
city
would
replace
two
trucks
with
one
saving
money
by
not
having
to
replace
both
in
the
future.
The
city
was
also
saved
by
only
having
us
on
one
to
an
accidental
to
one
rescue
on
one
with
water.
F
It
will
be
more
efficient
to
run
just
one
truck
with
personnel,
not
having
extra
people
taking
trucks
and
equipment
and
maintenance
on
one
truck
instead
of
two
timing
to
this
catastrophic
issue
with
this
engine
is
not
what
was
planned
in
this
place.
Great
stress
on
both
the
fire
chief
and
the
crews,
the
safety
of
our
personnel
in
the
citizens
is
priority.
Getting
the
right
equipment
to
act,
to
an
incident
for
safety
or
to
save
a
life
is
priceless.
F
The
ability
to
provide
mutual
aid
is
compromised
right
now
being
down
one
truck
and,
as
you
all
know,
where
you're
lying,
we
rely
on
mutual
aid,
so
we
have
to
reciprocate
mutual
aid.
The
cost
of
a
rescue
pumper
will
cost
585,000,
including
the
trade
in
a
rusty
number.
Six.
The
purchase
would
save
the
city
from
future
purchases
of
a
rescue
truck
in
the
future
and
maintenance
costs
for
multiple
trucks.
A
class.
F
Alone
is
525,000
still
leaves
us
with
a
future
replacement
of
a
rescue
and
improvements
needed
for
it.
Costs
go
up
five
percent
a
year
on
fire
apparatus
and
right
now
the
company
when
dealing
with,
has
a
grid,
keep
the
price
and
until
January
sixteenth
an
additional
savings
of
thirty
thousand
dollars.
The
multi
vocational
pumper,
the
MVP
would
cost
the
city
116
116,000
996,
with
0%
financing
through
the
company
for
the
next
five
years.
So
it's
one
hundred
and
almost
hundred
seventeen
thousand
dollars
a
year.
F
J
G
B
G
J
J
A
H
J
G
D
E
E
J
H
J
A
J
J
A
I
get
ya
the
biggest
the
biggest
problem
I
had
with
this
whole
scenario
is
we
talked
about
this
truck
here
back
I,
don't
know
six
weeks
ago
whatever,
and
we
talked
about
how
it
was
corroded.
The
corrosive
was
so
bad
that
we
are
going
to
have
to
replace
it,
and
now
we
find
out
that
that
isn't
the
case
at
all.
It's
you
know
the
structural
cracks,
defects
and.
A
A
Is
what
are
we
going
to
do
to
make
sure
that
this
doesn't
happen
again,
I
mean?
Is
there
something
we
can
do
or
is
there
somehow
that
we
can?
Whether
we
can
do
the
inspection
ourselves,
and
maybe
we
can
because
I
don't
know
a
whole
lot
about
it,
and
obviously
nobody
that
works
for
the
city
knows
a
whole
lot
about
it
or
we
wouldn't
have
this
problem.
J
A
J
A
So
it
doesn't
matter
it
would
be
american
lafrance
or
somebody
else.
None
of
them
are
built
well
enough
to
last
for
a
first
out
well
I.
I
know
we
say
first
open
again
and
we're
talking
about
a
truck.
That's
got
28,000
miles
on
them
and
you
know,
as
I
say,
I've
looked
at
a
lot
of
trucks.
This
weekend
you
know
a
hundred
and
twenty
eight
thousand
miles
156,000
miles.
They
were
taken
out
of
service.
B
J
A
J
J
J
A
Then
we
should
that
we
really
have
to
determine.
Is
it
worth
while
fixing
it?
You
know
if
we
could
get
another
five
years
out
of
it?
I
don't
know
you
know
because,
like
you
say,
and
the
engine
has
to
be
good,
it's
got
28,000
miles
on
it.
I
don't
know,
we've
ever
changed
the
Tigers
on
it
or
not,
but
yeah.
B
A
Mean
well,
then
there
can't
be
much
mileage
or
anything
on
them.
I
know
that
last
year,
when
you
checked
in
the
pump
and
everything
still
as
still
passes
and
still
has
the
books
out
the
quantity
that
it
needs
and
everything
else
so
I
mean
do
we
look
further
and
then
do
we
look
at
trying
to
fix
it
and
again
get
five
years
old.
J
J
Brush
to
me,
this
work,
auto
tronix,
gave
me
this
okay.
They
their
technician
came
in
and
looked
at
the
truck,
just
just
as
a
checklist
and
certification
checklist
and
then
went
all
through
it,
and
then
we
did
get
a
photo
library
of
all.
The
issues
that
they
did
find
just
on
the
cab
area
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
rest
of
the
drive.
There's.
J
B
E
J
E
So
that's
why
I
go
back
to
that
question.
You
know
what
it
doesn't
probably
hurt
to
just
work.
That's
all!
Okay!
So
I
want
anybody,
hit
sit
here
and
have
the
impression
that
we
have
to
do
this.
No
okay.
We
don't
have
to
do
that
and
maybe
we
just
on
the
hit
a
second
opinion.
That's
all
I'm,
saying
I'm,
sure,
okay,
but
I
I
am
concerned
how
we
got
to
where
we
were,
as
the
man
mentioned.
Also,
okay,
I.
D
E
E
B
A
E
J
E
J
Myself,
it
doesn't
haul
water.
If
it
had
a
tank
and
pump
it
would.
It
would
have
been
a
little
more
worthwhile,
a
little
more
worthwhile
truck.
It
would
serve
more
than
one
purpose
right
now.
It's
just
it
hauls
extra
tools
and
the
big
pieces.
You
need
for
a
rescue,
cribbing
extra
set
of
Jaws
that
I'm.
J
J
J
I
A
A
A
J
C
I
A
J
My
pictures
solid,
it's
we
need
a,
we
need
a
class,
a
pumper.
My
only
thing
for
doing
the
rescue
pumper
piece
was
literally
to
save
down
the
road
of
replacing
another
truck
down
the
road.
If
I
could
do
it
all
in
one
and
have
all
the
equipment
we
needed
on
one
truck
maintenance
costs
for
two,
you
still
have
to
maintain
them,
whether
it
gets
used
everyday
or
not
every
day,
but
again.
A
If
you've
got
the
two,
how
long
is
it
rescue
trucks
life?
You
know?
Is
this
a
15
year
deal
to
or
because
that's
all
it
is
it's
longer
and
if
you
don't
have
to
take
the
pumper
out
every
time
as
a
pump
of
rescue
truck,
then
this
life
span
should
be
it's
longer.
But
if
you
just
have
the
puppet
rescue
you're
telling
me
15
years,
because
its
first
out
all
the
time
class.
J
J
D
So
you
take
a
fire
truck
out
at
every
accident.
Yes,
okay!
So
do
you
know
what
your
ratio
is
too?
How
many
times
you
actually
need
this
fire
truck
when
you
take
it
out?
Is
it
most
of
the
time
you
don't
really
need
it?
You
just
take
it
out
for
safety
purposes,
or
did
you
what
I'm
getting
at
is
wouldn't
be
more
cost
effective
to
simply
have
a
rescue
truck
go
out
at
every
accident
instead
of
the
big
first
up
truck
the.
J
J
C
A
I
B
A
I
guess
the
only
other
question
with
that
when
I
look
back
through
the
capital
requirements,
when
I
first
started
on
council
and
everything
there
was
never
a
truck
that
was
only
scheduled
for
15
years.
They
were
25
years.
So
something
has
changed
again
in
the
four
years
that
I've
been
on
council
that
now
all
of
a
sudden
fire
trucks.
History
has
gone
from
25
years
to
15
years,
and
I
don't
know
what
that
is.
J
G
J
A
When
I
look
at
the
year-to-date
calls,
I
mean
woodland,
a
new
Sweden
and
Connor
mean
there's
31.
Calls
of
you
know.
Year-To-Date
is
220,
which
means
the
you
know.
Ninety
percent
of
them
are
here
in
the
city,
so
you
know
it's
not
like
we're
beatin,
the
Asia
of
them
driving
on
the
country,
roads
and
everything
all
the
time.
Yeah.
B
B
J
J
D
A
J
A
Well
then,
my
suggestion
is
going
to
be
that
once
we
do
this,
we
then
take
that
truck,
and
we
take
it
to
some
of
the
local
places
and
get
them
to
look
at
it.
Give
us
a
price
on
fixing
it
up
and
then
determine
whether
we'd
be
better
off
to
fix
it
up
to
try
to
sell
it
or
whatever,
rather
than
just
some
of
it
as
it
is
first
well
I,
don't
to
be
some
of
something
that
isn't
safe
to
anybody
else.
So
absolutely.
A
A
B
J
Recovering
we
had
to
it'll
sorry
we
had
to
coverings
lusted
for
for
that,
when
they
come
in,
one
of
them
was
a
membrane
covering
the
second
one
was
a
metal
covering
right
and
the
whole.
Both
estimates
included
changing
where
you
enter
the
building,
putting
a
pitched
roof
there
away
from
the
side,
so
water
doesn't
run
on
to
the
stairs,
and
so
we
have
pushed
water
away
from
the
building.
So.
E
J
J
J
E
E
K
We've
got
in
here.
The
tote
is
about
512
dog
licenses
that
were
done
between
October
15
