numbers are supposed to be the same. But when the Fire Department <br />went to register the ambulance with the Department of Motor Vehicle <br />registration, they learned that the VIN numbers were incorrect, and there <br />was an incorrect lien. The Fire Department is trying to get this issue <br />resolved. Also, the Office of the Corporation Counsel is speaking with the <br />community association to see whether they will be willing to donate the <br />ambulance to the county, rather than the County leasing it from the <br />association. Their main concern is that the ambulance services the <br />Ocean View area. Therefore, Deputy Corporation Counsel Noda <br />proposed that the county have a memorandum of agreement with the <br />association, as well as a resolution accepting the donation. <br />Commissioner Kudlo asked whether the Ocean View Community <br />Association was leasing it. <br />Deputy Corporation Counsel Noda replied that the association bought the <br />ambulancethroughagrantandproposedleasingit.Byleasingit,they <br />retain ownership, and can specify that it stays in their community. <br />Chief Oliveira stated that the Carrus Foundation of New York approached <br />the Ocean View community regarding providing them with funds to <br />purchase the HOVE ambulance. The agreement was established <br />between the community and the Carrus Foundation on approximately <br />$168,000 to purchase the ambulance, the AED€s, and the EMS <br />equipment. The community was given the money and bought the <br />ambulance using the Fire Department€s specifications for the vehicle. <br />They did the negotiations and purchasing through the vendor. Because <br />the association owns the ambulance, Deputy Corporation Counsel Noda is <br />trying to establish a use agreement so that the vehicle will be part of the <br />county€s inventory. This will allow the HCFD to maintain and replace the <br />vehicle in the future. <br />Commissioner Fergerstrom inquired on the different VIN numbers. <br />Deputy Corporation Counsel Noda stated that the last digits were different. <br />They come from two different manufacturers. <br />Chief Oliveira stated that when companies build ambulances, the chassis <br />will come with a VIN number, and then go to a vendor who will put their <br />own identification number on the modulants on the back half, which is a <br />component for that unit. <br /> American Red Cross Hats Off‚ Campaign: Recently, participated in the <br />· <br />campaign to raise awareness and fund the American Red Cross.
