Nemeth Member of the Common Council A public hearing was held on the resolution at this time. Fire Chief Jack Bland explained that the Council is aware of the emergencies relating to equipment which have occurred in the Fire Department. They are asking for funds to be transferred so that proper repairs to equipment may be made. Miss Virginia Guthrie, Executive Secretary of the Civic Planning Association, said that a lot has been transferred out of the motor equipment fund and asked the Chief if he could take that much more from the account. Chief Bland explained that, because they have rebuilt an old tanker truck at a cost of $2000, they will not have to purchase one now and that $20,000 had been allowed for that purchase. Councilman Newburn said that the concern of the general public is that we not have failure of fire equipment. Chief Bland said that the Council might be interested to know that Engine Four threw a rod tonight. Councilman Kopczynski asked the Chief how many miles there were on that engine. Chief Bland replied that he did not have that information with him. Councilman Kopczynski asked what make the truck was and how old it was. Chief Bland replied that it was a Waukesha and was a 1957 or 1958 model. Councilman Serge moved that the resolution be adopted, seconded by Councilman Newburn. The resolution was adopted by a roll call vote of nine ayes (Councilmen Serge, Szymkowiak, Miller, Parent, Taylor, Kopczynski, Horvath, Newburn and Nemeth).
