<br />He asked that if we spend $70,000 for another pumper, will we have money left for a ladder truck.
<br />Fire Chief Snider indicated he had requested one in his budget, to be purchased through Revenue
<br />Sharing Funds. Council President Parent said that since we are going to receive three additional
