Fiscal Impact Statement: The Chief Legislative Analyst reports that the sale of one 1982 Seagrave fire engine at a below market value price is consistent with the City's Financial Policies as the Stentorians is a non-profi created specifically to further the work of a City department (Los Angeles Fire Department) and is headquartered in the City of Los Angeles. This below market sale will increase the General Fund by $1.00. SUMMARY At its meeting of June 11, 2007, the Budget and Finance Committee considered Motion (Weiss - Rosendahl) and Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA) report relative to the sale of one surplus 1982 Seagrave fire engine (equipment no. 60376) to the Los Angeles City Stentorians for $1.00, to be used in the training of prospective firefighter candidates. The Stentorians is a non-profi organization founded in 1954 by African-American firefighters from the Los Angeles City and County Fire Departments "...to combat the racism and blatant bigûtîý that prevented African-Americans from joining and advancing in the fire service." The Stentorians participate in efforts to recruit and train qualified candidates for the Los Angeles Fire Department; provides assistance to firefighters seeking supplemental training; fosters upward mobility among its members; presents career enhancement seminars; mentors community youth by serving as "Big Brothers" and "Big Sisters" for the Gwen Bolden Youth Foundation, and maintains close ties with the community. i The CLA reports that based on criteria established in the Los Angeles Administrative Code, Section 22.547, the Stentorians is eligible to receive this donation and there are no other unfilled requests waiting ahead of this organization for this type of equipment. The Budget and Finance Committee recommended approval of the Motion (Weiss - Rosendahl) relative to the sale to the Los Angeles City Stentorians of one surplus 1982 Seagrave fire engine (equipment no. 60376) for $1.00, to be used in the training of prospective firefighter candidates. This matter is now forwarded to the Council for its consideration.
