Statement of Issue: Should the City Council approve the purchase of two (2) replacement
ambulances?
Funding Source: Unappropriated FireMed Fund balance (50265402) in the amount of
$265,000.
Recommended Action: MOTION TO:
1. Approve the purchase of two (2) replacement ambulances; and
2. Approve an appropriation of $265,000 from the FireMed Fund balance (50265403) to the
equipment replacement fund (5040102).
Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the purchase of two (2) replacement ambulances.
Analysis: Initially, the Fire Department's FY 2001/02 budget submittal included a request
for the replacement of two (2) ambulances. Since it was recently determined that the type of
ambulance the City now uses requires a six (6) month advance order, these ambulances are
being requested for purchase during the current fiscal year in order to place them into service
during January 2002. This action will have a $265,000 impact on the FireMed Fund balance.
There will be no impact to the General Fund.
The proposed ambulance purchase will replace existing units that have been in service more
than nine (9) years and have over 130,000 miles. The frequent repairs needed for these
vehicles have made it increasingly difficult to keep them in service. Reliability of these

vehicles is critical because of their use in emergency medical transportation. Full operation
also provides continued revenue to the FireMed Fund.
As previously approved by City Council, an additional ambulance will be placed in service
this fiscal year for an immediate improvement in the service level throughout the City. This
will reduce the requests for private ambulance responses, but will also place an added
burden on our aging ambulance fleet that averages 120,000 miles per vehicle.
In order to continue to provide reliable emergency ambulance service to the residents of
Huntington Beach, the purchase of these ambulance replacements is necessary.
