<br />f' <br /> <br />Agenda Item <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />November 9, 2001 <br /> <br />Subject: <br /> <br />Thermal Imaging Cameras - Centennial Fire District <br /> <br />Submitted by: <br /> <br />Milo Bennett, Fire Chief <br /> <br />Description: <br /> <br />At the end of the year 2000, the Centennial Fire District purchased a <br />Thermal Imaging Camera with a donation received from the Centennial Fire <br />Relief Association. At that time, it was our intent to purchase two additional <br />cameras in the future. That purchase would allow us to have a camera <br />located on each of our pumpers. The camera has proven to be a valuable <br />asset in several areas of our work. <br /> <br />A new model has been introduced, that is smaller and more <br />economical model, which would allow us to purchase three cameras for the <br />price of two original models. This would allow us to put a small camera on <br />each pumper and the larger unit on the command vehicle. <br /> <br />The firefighter's Relief Association has the money to fund this <br />purchase and just needs approval from the cities to do so. The amount of the <br />purchase is approximately $40,000 for the three cameras. <br /> <br />This purchase would normally be approved by the Fire District's <br />Steering Committee; however, a quorum was not available at our November <br />8, 2001 meeting. The members that were present requested that approval be <br />sought from each of the city councils. <br /> <br />Recommended Action: <br /> <br />The action that I am requesting is your approval to purchase the three <br />cameras with the donated funds from the Centennial Firefighter Relief <br />Association. <br />
