RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ACCEPTANCE OF A DONATION
OF TWO (2) SEAGRAVE FIRE PUMPERS FROM THE COUNTY OF
MAUI, AND TO ENTER INTO A RELEASE, HOLD HARMLESS AND
INDEMNITY AGREEMENT FOR ANY LIABILITY RESULTING FROM
THE TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL OF THESE
VEHICLES, AS A CONDITION OF THE DONATION TO THE COUNTY
OF HAWAII FIRE DEPARTMENT
WHEREAS, the County of Maui, Department of Fire and Public Safety ("Maui Fire
Department") recognizes the need for additional emergency fire vehicles in order to meet the
growing needs here in the County of Hawaii and wishes to assist the County of Hawaii Fire
Department ("HFD") in providing such vehicles to meet those needs; and
WHEREAS, the donation consists of two (2) fire trucks, Vehicle Identification Numbers
Z-78350 1F9EW28JOMCST2148 and Z-78351 1F9EW28J8MCST2155, manufactured and
originally purchased by the County of Maui in 1991, each with a current valuation of $50,000
apiece; and
WHEREAS, both fire trucks aze Seagrave Model JBSODH 1500 GPM Fire Pumpers
with miscellaneous equipment; and
WHEREAS, the Maui Fire Department no longer requires the service of these vehicles,
as either frontline or relief appazatus, because they have purchased newer models; and
WHEREAS, HFD intends to add both vehicles to its reserve fleet, which is utilized in the
event of frontline vehicle breakdowns, and currently many of the vehicles in HFD's reserve fleet are
of earlier vintage than both the proposed additions; and
WHEREAS, as a municipal corporation, considering the age of the vehicles, it is to be
expected that the County of Maui would want full immunity and indemnification for its proposed
donation; and
WHEREAS, HFD's Chief Mechanic and Auxiliary Services Battalion Chief traveled to
Maui to inspect both vehicles and found them to be mechanically sound and well-maintained, not
requiring any immediate costs to bring them up to HFD standards; and
WHEREAS, upon the advice of the County of Hawaii Office of the Corporation
Counsel, a written statement has been obtained from the County of Maui regarding any post-
manufactured modifications made to both vehicles, of which there were none; and
WHEREAS, the HFD recommends the acceptance of this donation; and
WHEREAS, Article XIII, Section 13-12, of the Hawaii County Charter provides that
the Council, on behalf of the County, may accept gifts or donations of personal property.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY
OF HAWAII that in accordance with Article XIII, Section 13-12, of the Hawaii County
Charter, the Council of the County of Hawaii accepts both vehicles and authorizes on behalf of
the County of Hawaii execution of the "Release, Hold Harmless and Indemnity Agreement".
