The Kachemak Emergency Service Area has acquired two fire engines in addition to the 1977 ambulance it obtained a year ago.

The 1,600 square feet of garage space will be available January 15, 2003, and is needed to properly house the equipment. Rental is $1,600 per month, with the first 5-1/2 months to be paid in advance. The attached draft lease agreement contains remaining proposed terms and conditions of the agreement. Your consideration and approval of this resolution would be appreciated.
