A Resolution authorizing acquisition and disposal of certain vehicles in relation to
emergency services.
WHEREAS, the Franklin County Department of Emergency Management (FCDEM),
using federal Homeland Security funds in 2005, purchased a mobile command vehicle (MCV)
for use by emergency services departments throughout Franklin County; and
WHEREAS, it has been the experience of FCDEM that the MCV is rarely used and
requires frequent maintenance activity to ensure it is usable when desired; and
WHEREAS, FCDEM does not have funds to provide for the level of maintenance
appropriate for an MCV and the local emergency services departments have concluded the
maintenance obligations exceed the benefit of the MCV; and
WHEREAS, the Pasco Police Department has arranged to trade the MCV to a vendor in
exchange for a newly constructed SWAT vehicle which would be used to support the Tri-Cities
Regional SWAT Team; and
WHEREAS, FCDEM has obtained approval of the federal Department of Homeland
Security and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to authorize the proposed
vehicle trade; and
WHEREAS, the Pasco City Council finds the proposed vehicle trade to be in the best
interest of Pasco citizens as well as the city's desire to collaborate with other agencies within the
region for the provision of cost-effective emergency services; NOW THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON, DOES
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That the City Manager or his written designee is hereby authorized to execute all
documents necessary and appropriate to effect the acceptance and trade of the FCDEM
mobile command vehicle in exchange for a new SWAT vehicle to be owned by the City of
Pasco consistent with the contract attached hereto as Exhibit A.
PASSED by the City Council of the City of Pasco, Washington, at its regular meeting on
