To: Honorable Mayor Myron Bailey and
Cottage Grove City Councilmembers
From: Fire Chief Rick Redenius
Date: 2/6/2013
Subject: Thermal Imager Fixed Asset Deletion
INTRODUCTION
Cottage Grove Fire has upgraded our thermal imaging cameras over the past few years thus
leaving the department with a surplus of older imagers. It is requested that three of the units be
auctioned for sale on the E-Bay website.
BACKGROUND
The Cottage Grove Fire Department first acquired a thermal imager in 2000 with the
assistance of the 3M Corporation. We then were able to gain a second model so we had two.
Approximately 3 years later we were able to purchase two more units giving us a total of four
units so one could be placed on each engine. In 2Q10 a grant was written to replace these
units and we were awarded the monies to retire the older units. The units were kept as spares
but we found that durability of our current units has been better than expected with little repairs
needing to be done. This is the reason it is being requested to sell the older units. Currently the
police department is using one for police operations so it is being requested that three of the
four units be sold.
RECOMMENDATION
Request Council pass a motion authorizing the sale of the three thermal imagers, asset
numbers 002449, 002710, and 002629 on the E-Bay website.
