DISTRICT 2
.BOARD OF GOVERNORS
A special meeting�of the Board of Governors,
District 2, convened on the above date. Present and
answering to roll call werae Commissioner Alison Fahrer,
Mayor Samuel Feiner, Commissioner William Freeman,
Commissioner Ian Wright, and Mayor Wilhelmina Harvey. Also
present were Danny L. Kolh,;age, Clerk; Kermit Lewin, County
Administrator; Lucien Probiy, County Attorney; James
Matthews, Finance Directors; members of the Press and Radio;
and the general public.
All stood for the -Invocation and Pledge of
Allegiance to the Flag.
Mr. Reggie Paros ;addressed the Board concerning the
request for a Referendum Election by the Marathon Fire and
Rescue Department and his ;recommendations and alternatives
concerning the existing 19176 Ford Water Tank Truck. Motion
was made by Commissioner Wright and seconded by Commissioner
Fahrer to approve Alternate #4 as set out below:
"3. Replace existing 1976 Ford LNT 800 chassis with
new 1985 Ford LNT 8000 chassis.
"This includes a CAT,3208, 225 H.P. diesel engine,
Allison automatic transmission, and heavier front axle,
resulting in more power, bjetter braking performance,
increased load capacity, and extended vehicle life.
"Estimated cost, new!1chassis and removal of apparatus
body from existing chassis' and remounting onto new chassis,
parts and labor - $60,000.;00.
"Cost to taxpayer in District #2 for one year is
approximately .1260 cents per $1,000.00 of assessed value of
real property.
"The 1976 chassis could be used as a trade-in or sold.
The value of this chassis at present is between $6,200.00
and $8,300.00 retail according to Ford. They also indicated
that there may not be much market demand for this type used
chassis, because most users of this type chassis custom
order their chassis built to their specific requirements.
"4. Same as Alternative 3, with the exception that
instead of using the 1976 chassis as a trade-in or selling
it, a new and smaller water tank, apparatus body and mid -
ship pump could be mounted onto it. This would result in
the folowing:
"It would provide a second tanker in District 2.
"It could be stationed and serve the south end of
Marathon.
"It could reduce the amount of use of a 22-year-old
1962 Ford Pumper that presently serves the south end of town
and ultimately replace the 1962 Ford Pumper when it becomes
unreliable.
"It would increase the overall on -board water capacity
and pumping capacity of the Marathon Department.
"Reduced weight of the smaller tanker body and pump
could be safely and adequately powered by the existing
chassis.
"Based on the retail value of the existing chassis as
quoted by Ford and the money recently invested in this
chassis for painting, refurbishing, tires, etc., it appears
that keeping and using the chassis for the construction of a
smaller tanker would be more cost effective. The 1962 Ford
Pumper that presently serves the south end of Marathon will
have to be taken off of front line service within a few
years. This proposed smaller tanker would be its replace-
ment and prevent the need for another special referendum in
order to purchase a new replacement pumper.
"The estimated cost to accomplish Alternative 4 is as
follows:
"Replace existing 1976 Ford LNT 800 chassis with new
1985 Ford LNT 8000 chassis, includes purchasing new chassis,
removal of 2,000 gallon tanker body from old chassis and
mounting onto new chassis, and all related work, parts and
labor ----------------------------------------$ 60,000.00
"Constrution of new 1500 gallon tanker body, purchasing
new mid -ship pump, and mounting both onto 1976 chassis, and
all related work, parts and labor ------------$ 60,000.00
Estimated total cost $120,000.00
"Cost to taxpayer in District #2 for one year is
approximately .2520 cents per $1,000.00 of assessed value of
real property."
