The new ambulance we purchased 2 years ago will be in service this week.
The 3 Tahoe’s are in. The 2 chief’s are in service, the BC one is getting lettering.
Budget for 2024 has started so we are working with the Battalion Chiefs on that. Contract negotiations are coming up.NEW BUSINESS
A. Discussion/Possible Action – Ambulance Remount
In 2015 we started to re-chassis ambulances to keep up with the vehicle replacement schedule. We would send an ambulance to Lifeline and have them strip it down to the bare metal. Everything would be replaced the flooring, seat cushions, wiring, HVAC.The benefit of sending it to Lifeline is there will be a lifetime warrantee on the box. The HGAC pricing is $277,976.00. This is a savings of $57,000.00 from purchasing a new vehicle. This will come out of the 2024 budget; accountant James Howard recommends paying
cash.
A motion was made byTrustee Difiori seconded by Trustee Scanlan to approve the ambulance remount for est .$277,976.00.

This from Colton Latham:
New Lenox Fire Protection District Truck 61 has been out of service for a few months now waiting for parts. In the meantime, New Lenox has been using their new-to-them engine. It is a 2006 Pierce Enforcer and was formerly Manhattan Fire Protection District Engine 81. New Lenox purchased it from Manhattan around July of 2022. It is now the current frontline out of station 61 and will possibly be the reserve engine.
In other New Lenox news, the Sutphen engine that was at 63 is being torn apart and has been sold to a private buyer. This engine was formerly a demo unit used by the Chicagoland Motor Speedway and was then purchased by New Lenox. According to some of the firefighters, it worked well but had awful suspension. It will be gone by the end of 2023.
