equipment needs future fire fighting equipment with the City Council; Fire Chief Ryan;
,,, Mr. McGinnis, Asst, Fire Chief, Cotati; Mr. Wiggins, Superintendent of
Public Works, and other interested parties.
The principal subject was the pumping capacity that should be requested
when drawing up specifications for a new fire truck.
Mr. Hayes felt that the City could get by very nicely with a 750 gallon
pumper along with a Mutual Aid Agreement with Cotati*
However, the question of whether the specifications should call for a
750 gpms 1000 gpm, or 1250 gpm would naturally depend on the manufacturers
quotationse
The ultimate need would be 2 pumpers with a minimum capacity of 1400 gpm
based on 1963 population projection figures and additional pumping
capacity as the population might increases Moveable equipment to be
placed on the fire truck was outlined in a pamphlet put out by Pacific
Coast Rating Bureau, which was made available to Chief Ryan*
ldjournment There being no further business, the meeting was then adjourned.
