CEC 11/13/06, 7:30am, TOB 111 TE, CWL, RB, SS, BH Kanter, Ch. Wm. Middlemiss, Rob Adelson Kanter asked about polyvinyl leaking into the LFD Main Station. They're still in active discussions w/ Shell. Progress is being made but no $'s yet. Shell wants to move the tanks out of the fire station basement to a separate shed out back. New R-1 (Chevy Kodiak w/ Lifeline Ambulance body) went into service last June. The newest rescue unit will always be called R-1. $165K. R-2 is the International unit. R-3 (Ford) was traded in. It was costing too much to maintain it so they got rid of it. E-2 (2004 Pumper at Bedford Street made by E-one). This is on its 3rd F/E repair. It's going in for structural work on the cab. The F/E is not under warranty, but the rest of it is. LFD has started an annual examination program for the F/E with Waltham Spring. L-1 had to have the rear end replaced ($8K) due to the new "salt" that they use on the roads. Ch. Middlemiss reports that this is a common problem with all the area FD's. E-1, the new pumper that we appropriated for has been awarded to American LaFrance for $378K. It is in construction and will be here in June. The trucks will always keep their numbers (i.e. no rotation). Twice a month, the reserve trucks are put into active duty for a 10 hour shift. Except for those times, the new units are always on the front line. LFD Main Floor. The first analysis was cursory. A later engineering analysis says that the floor is worse than was expected. Now it looks like it will need a replacement floor. The $50K last year was for fixing the floor, but now it will be used for engineering design. Whatever work is ultimately done will be done over the summer when the trucks can be stored outside. The ambulances will have to be put under a tent because they have to be in a controlled environment all the time. FY08, E-5 (old International brush truck). They're currently spending
