SURPLUS FIRE EQUIPMENT IS DONATED TO VOLUNTEER FIRE
DEPARTMENTS.

emergencies; and

protection necessary to prudently facilitate the donation of surplus fire equipment to Volunteer
Fire Departments.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. To fully support Assembly Bill 1821.
SECTION 2. That the Mayor shall sign and the City Clerk shall certify to the passage
