Indiana 48625 <br /> LUTHER J. TAYLOR April 7, 1987 <br /> Fire Chief <br /> South Bend Common Council <br /> County-City Building <br /> South Bend, IN 46601 <br /> Dear Council Members : <br /> I am proud to say that the operation of the Haz/Mat Team is going <br /> well and we are looking forward to the Team' s continual growth.. With <br /> the investment the city has put into the Haz/Mat Team thus far, I <br /> think it is important that we start looking at some of the expenses <br /> that we will incur this year. Some expenses could come as a sur- <br /> prise since nothing has been budgeted for the ongoing costs. <br /> One of the expenses next year will be the replacement of two (2) <br /> chemical suits. They were originally purchased in 1980. The new <br /> suits will allow us to use the old suits for practice. <br /> Last year we had five (5) responses in the county that were not <br /> collected. I think we could restructure the cost system to include <br /> a retainer fee per year to the entire county. This would be to <br /> their advantage as well as ours. <br /> It is my recommendation that the funds generated from Haz/Mat re- <br /> sponses be put into a Fire Department Special Fund to purchase Haz/Mat <br /> equipment, suits, etc. <br /> If I can answer any further questions please call me. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> i0-49-11-4 <br /> Luther Taylor <br /> Fire Chief <br /> LT/vm <br />
