must purchase new self-contained breathing apparatus and parts for
use mn fighting fires and entering hazardous atmospheres to rescue
citizens. Whereas the citizens of Bremerton voted for the purchase
of this equ!pment in the Fire Bond issue passed in November 1990,
the Fire Department is seeking authorization to enter into a
purchasing agreement with Sea-Western, inc., for this equipment,
Sea-Western, Inc is the sole-source authorized distributor for
Washington State. The Fire Department will be using a Council-
authorized interlocal Purchasing Agreement Detween the City of
Tumwater and the City of Bremerton. This agreement will expire on
December 31, 1990, and the new prices will be significantly higher.

current equipment, 'This item was reviewed by the Council Operations Committee
and Fiscal and Budget Committee.
Public comment-none.
Mr. Dawkins questioned if previous questions posed by Mr. Horning
had been addressed? Mr. McKinley noted that previous discussion
focused on the Fire Bond issue and was to be addressed at a Council
Study Seesion. Mr. Homing noted the issue was not just the
purchase of breathlng apparatus but now council wanted to go
through the whole Fire Bond issue. The Council is not required to
purchase everything on the Fire Bond nor are they required to
respond within any time limitations. He felt the subject proposal
was worthy and should be responded to at this time, but to have a
future Study Session to discuss timing, costs, etc - The final
reason he brought all this to council's attention was due to
fire tower issue.
Mr. Waibel stated the Fiscal and Budget Committee had the same
concerns and requested the Fire Department to come back after
costing out eight items included in the Fire Bond.
Mr.Horning noted one of the further questions that came out of the
F!re Study was to not purchase all the rolling stock at one time.
He felt this issue needed further study by the Council before a
decision could be made.
Mr. Overson complimented Fire Department personnel for the hard
work and expertise in assisting citizens with all types of problems
caused by the severe weather condit:ions. Mr. McKinley stated all
Fire vehicles, including some reserve equipment, were committed to
calls '75% of the time Tuesday night, As a point of fire prevention, he
cautioned everyone who did not have electrical power
to please turn off their appiiances that may have been turned on at
the time of the power outage.
