SUBJECT:
Accept Donation of a 1940 Mack Fire Engine for use by the Fire Department
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to accept the donation from Mr. Mike
Slusser of a 1940 Mack Fire Engine, Model 80, Serial No. 80LS1050 valued at $10,000.00, for use by the
Fire Department.
DISCUSSION:
Mack Engineering, a manufacturer of fire apparatus located in Allentown, Pennsylvania, began building fire
trucks around 1911. Over the years these fire engines bearing the trademark "Bull Dog," proved to be as
tough and reliable as the saying "Built like a Mack Truck" indicates. Thousands of these classic apparatus
have served fire departments through the years. Mack stopped making custom apparatus in 1990.
Mr. Mike Slusser would like to donate this 1940 fire engine so that it can be restored and utilized by the Fire
Department far public relations purposes. However, if in the future, the City no longer wants the fire engine,
the City will donate the fire engine to the Fire Museum in Dallas, Texas, or such equivalent.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that approval of this donation will have no material
effect on City funds.
