With the new truck in service, the current truck housed at the Fire Training Facility will be rotated out of the City fleet. For aspiring firefighters, San Jacinto College offers the Firefighter Training Academy, which has been one of the best training programs in the Houston area and consistently has nearly 100 percent of the graduating students pass the Texas Commission onFire Protection written certification exam. This program meets and exceeds all State requirements for paid/career firefighters and provides additional fire-related education and certification opportunities as well as courses in general education.The addition of a fire engine would greatly enhance the programming and training offered through this program and the City would directly benefit, as many of the graduates of this program stay in the area and become paid and volunteer firefighters. The City and San Jacinto College have maintained a dialogue about thepossibility to conveying the retired truck to the College for use in the Firefighter Training Academy. The attached agreement provides for the title transfer of the fire engine to the College for educational purposes. The College commits to use the engine exclusively for educational/training purposes for a period of 5 years and assumes all responsibility for the engine, including maintenance and repair. After the 5 year period has been satisfied, the College may dispose of the truck as it sees fit. Action Required by Council: Consider approval or other action authorizing the Mayor to execute an agreement between San Jacinto College and the City of La Porte for the transfer of a fire engine.
