City of Miami Page 1 Printed on 5/12/2005
A motion was made by Johnny L. Winton, seconded by Jeffery L. Allen, that this matter be ADOPTED, Chairman
Sanchez: We go over to CA.6 for the purpose of discussion
Commissioner Winton: We're purchasing a lot of -- CA.8 is about -- for the purpose of a tractor trailer response
vehicle.
Commissioner Allen: Right,
Commissioner Winton: And this is part of the Urban Area Security Initiative grant program, and these are federal
dollars, I'm assuming, but the question I have is, we're getting a lot of these kinds of things. We're buying a lot of
really, really high-powered equipment, very sophisticated equipment, and the primary money is coming -- or all the
money, I guess, right now is coming from the Feds, but what happens -- one, how do we know we really need all these
things, number one, and number two, who's going to be paying for the maintenance costs as we move forward,
number three, and number four, who's going to pay to replace all of this stuff and the maintenance costs of all these
things when the Feds' money goes away, and we know -- we don't even have to think about it -- we know that during
the next oomph -- whatever that oomph is in the federal government -- this money goes away, and at the local level,
we're stuck paying for it, so y' all help me with this,
Chief William Bryson: Chief Bryson, City of Miami Fire -Rescue, Commissioner, you're right, we are buying a lot of
equipment with federal dollars, UASI (Urban Areas Security Initiative) dollars, in particular. We're not overbuying.
For instance, this item -- these are replacing a 1980 and a 1984 vehicle that we currently maintain for the Technical
Rescue Team. That's the TRT team. We will buy other equipment, including this equipment that we will have to
maintain with our garage, some of it, and some of it through GSA (General Services Administration), but there are
things that are going to protect the citizens that we couldn't afford to buy when we didn't have the dollars and that I
think are well used funds for what we're going to get for it.
Commissioner Winton: OK, so that's kind of part I, part II, and by the way, I'm looking here at the justification for
purchasing this, and nowhere in here do I see anything about replacing existing equipment, which would have been a
big help to me --
Commissioner Allen: Right.
Commissioner Winton: -- which I keep -- y'all have gotten a lot better about writing these things, but --
Chief Bryson: Yes, sir.
Commissioner Winton: -- this one --
Chief Bryson: We have it on the agenda --
Commissioner Winton: -- kind of missed the boat.
Chief Bryson: -- summary form. I don't know if you have that form, but you should. I mean --
Unidentified Speaker: Under "Background Information."
Chief Bryson: Under "Background Information,"
Commissioner Winton: Oh, yeah, it's on the back. Sorry. Did 1-- so it's back there.
Chief Bryson: OK.
Commissioner Winton: My apologies.
Chief Bryson: No problem.

Commissioner Allen: Right, and to that end, you just said something very operative about mass destruction. Now,
