apparatus, the City of San Bernardino would remove themselves from liability. Insurance,
registration, and maintenance would be the responsibility of the Public Safety Academy.
FINANCIAL IMPACT

approximately $20,500 for both fire apparatus, The City upon donation of these vehicles will not

budget shortfall that would result from this donation,

Michael Conrad - Fire Chief SBFD,
The Public Safety Academy (Academy) is an accredited, innovative school--operated and funded on the
belief that every child deserves a superior education. The mission of the Public Safety Academy is to
develop the cadet toward a career in public safety through a process of rigorous academics, realistic hands
on training, attitude development, fitness and strict discipline. We provide a quality education to the
children in San Bernardino and serve as a model for improving the educational standards for charter and
traditional public schools alike.
The Academy cares very deeply about the youth in San Bernardino and considers access to effective
. public education as the foundation of responsible citizenship in ajust society. The Academy finnly
believes that:
. Every child has the potential to succeed in school and in life.
. Providing a public education alternative built on autonomy and accountability is especially
important in an educational climate with rising dropout rates
. Learning environments should foster curiosity, creativity and self-discipline while building skills
that transfer seamlessly to the world beyond graduation .
While public education is a public responsibility, private support enables the Academy to achieve
superior academic results for all its students. As a charter school, we can operate without the many
regulations that constrict traditional public school districts, providing us the potential to be dramatically
more effective than typical public schools.
It with this fact we respectfully request a donation of one fire engine and one fire truck. The addition of
this equipment will greatly expand the educational opportunities our academy can offer our career-
minded cadets.
IfIwhen we receive this apparatus we fully understand that it is our responsibility to:
. House the Apparatus in a safe place.
. Provide proper insurance for the Apparatus.
. Provide maintenance for the Apparatus on a regular schedule.
. Operate in full compliance to the law.
We look forward to continuing to provide a unique and life changing education for the youth of San
Bemardino with our strong and productive partnership with you
