(KLZA)-- The Auburn City Council approved the expenditure or more than $150,000 Monday night to purchase a used aerial fire truck and a used stree sweeper.
Mayor Scott Kudrna said the Council approved the purchase of the 1995 aerial truckwith a 65 foot snorkel from a fire department in Pennsylvania for $55,000. The truck is certified and still in use. A committee had looked at purchasing a new aerial truck but the cost was prohibitive. Kudrna says with the proper care, the used truck should serve the needs of the community. The 20 year old truck will be newer and larger than many larger communities have.
When the deal is completed, a group of firemen will be sent to retrieve the truck
Last fall, the Auburn Council approved the purchase of a new pumper truck for the Auburn Fire Department. The new truck is currently being built and should be ready sometime in 2017.
The Council also approved the purchase of a 2007, Elgin, Pelican street sweeper for the Street Department. With the trade of the city’s old street sweeper, the cost to the City will be $97,500. The original price tag was $105,000.
