$1,400,000 For a New Fire Truck??

Staff currently operates a Sutphen 75-foot aerial ladder truck carrying one 35-foot extension ladder. This new aerial ladder truck, manufactured by Pierce, will have a 107-foot aerial ladder and carry multiple extension ladders ranging from 35-foot to 50-foot in length. 

 Here is a representative photo.

The Sutphen 75-foot Aerial Ladder Truck will be placed in reserve status and used as a back-up.

Delivery time projected on this apparatus is Twelve (12) to fourteen (14) months.

Woo-Hoo we have plenty of money. Sales tax revenues are up and property taxes are up! Let's spend $1,400,000. Its not our money!

When you buy "custom" equipment it costs lots of money. Why buy standard equipment when you can afford to buy the best?

    OK, so where in the city do we have a building of 15 stories? Isn't this designed for tall buildings? Are we planning on building that tall a building in the next 8 years or so, or is this just an ego thing?
