SUMMARY
In 2014, Hayward voters approved Measure C, which authorized the City to increase the sales tax rate by one-half cent for, among other things, the restoration and maintenance of City services and facilities, including firefighting/emergency medical services. The purchase from EagleAir of a new Breathing Air Compressor System will allow for continued use of existing equipment and the ease of maintenance and services, due to an already existing service agreement with the local provider. Hayward Fire already owns and maintains three similar units from EagleAir, and this additional purchase will increase capacity to refill breathable air tanks for Fire personnel. An increase in appropriation in the Measure C fund is required for the purchase of the EagleAir equipment.
