Roads and Safety Committee - Oct 8, 2026
The fire department is buying a new Type III ambulance for up to $298,449 to replace a 2017 rig with 155,000 miles. Supply chain delays mean delivery won't happen until around late 2029, so the old ambulance could top 200,000 miles by then.
Roads and Safety Committee - Jan 22, 2026
The city's fire trucks and EMS vehicles are aging, and repairs are getting expensive — one pump repair cost $30,000. Ordinance 2026-030 would lock in a no-bid repair contract for 2026.
