1. On August 19, 1997, by Resolution 97-146, the City Council authorized the acceptance of
a State Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Grant for first responder rescue equipment in the amount of
$86,155. The scope of the Grant included the purchase and implementation of a second complete set of
vehicle extrication equipment, otherwise known as "Jaws" or hydraulic prying devices.
2. The Fire Department has been using Holmatro vehicle extrication equipment since 1987.

recommends purchasing a second complete set of first responder rescue equipment from Santiam
Emergency Equipment, the sole source vendor for Holmatro, Inc. equipment in this area.
4. The City Council has carefully studied this matter, and has determined that this
recommendation is in the best interests of the City.
