REPORT TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
MEETING HELD JANUARY 3 1983
ADMIN. 2 - 83
SUBJECT: DONATION OF SURPLUS EMERGENCY VAN TO
ST. JOHN'S AMBULANCE
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. That this report be received; and
2. That the surplus Emergency Van, formerly used by
the Newcastle Fire Department, be donated to the
St. John's Ambulance; and further
3. That Mr. D. Bird of the St. John's Ambulance, Newcastle
Division, be advised that the van must be certified and
licenced at their cost.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
The attached letter dated November 30 1982 was received by the G. P. & A.
Committee on December 13 1982 and referred to the C.A.O. and the Fire
Chief (#G.P.E. 1333-82). The Fire Chief was asked to comment on the
request and provided the attached memorandum.
The "Emergency Van" has become surplus with the purchase in 1982 of a new
vehicle. The van is now in storage to be offered for sale to the public
through the Regional Equipment Auction or by public bid in accordance with
the provisions of the purchasing by-law. As noted by the Fire Chief, the
vehicle requires licencing and must be certified, which will necessitate
repairs to the body of the truck. The cost of the repairs etc. would
appropriately be borne by the St. John's Ambulance Association.

At the present time, Council requires organizations requesting annual
grants to file an application with the Town. The Town does not have
a policy in respect of the awarding of grants, be they financial or in
the form of equipment or services.
The revenue generated from the sale of the Emergency Vehicle would have
been credited to the Fire Department's equipment reserve account.

Dear Sir:
This is in regard to our conversation earlier
last month concerning the possible support by the
town for the new St. John Ambulance Division.
At this time, our Division requires just about
every type of equipment. Foremost on our list is
a mobile first aid post. A good vehicle for this
would be the old fire Dept. rescue vehicle. Rather
than selling this truck to a private interest, a
donation of this vehicle to us would be a definite
boost to the Town of Newsastle St. John Ambulance.
Any assistance to us in 1983 would be appreciated.
Respectfully,
Douglas Bird
Superintendent,
Newcastle Division,,
St. John Ambulance.

f�E1��CRANDUM
TO: D.N. Smith, M.C.I.P., Administrator
FROM: J. Hayman, Fire Chief
DATE: December 23, 1982
SUBJECT: Emergency Van - Disposal
Your File: 68.13.14
Our File: 10.12.5
Please be advised that I have no objection to donating the van to St. John's
Ambulance.
In regards to Ministry of Transportation and Communications registration
requirements, my information is the licence plates must be removed and retained
by the fire department for any future vehicle purchases and the licence permit
is transferrable and it is the responsibility of the purchaser to have the
vehicle certified and registered to the new owner.
As regards to certification, mechanically there would be no problems. In regards
to the body considerable repairs would be required before it could be certified.
Hay n.
