For a department somewhat close by,
Names and items are changed to protect the innocent, in hopes
that they stay that way....
XXXX Department gets a grant in say, 2003, for a 50K vehicle. New.
Their city fathers decide in 2006 that the department no longer needs the item (although the need that it was purchased for continues on) and tells the Fire Department to sell it.
Now, another department wants to buy it. They are going to apply for a FP&S grant to buy it. Remember, a vehicle is not always a vehicle, as in perhaps a trailer?
How long does that first department need to hang on to that piece of equipment, and can another AFG grant be used to purchase it, effectively
buying the same piece of equipment twice?
