These PASS devices are considered obsolete items for which the Fire Department has no foreseeable use. They were removed from service when we recently updated and upgraded our PASS device to a unit that is an integrated part of the self-contained breathing apparatus used by our personnel. Staff recommends that the City Council declare the "Super Pass" PASS devices surplus and they be transferred in equal numbers to Yakima County Fire Protection Districts #3 (Naches), and #14 (Nile Valley), both districts which have few or no PASS devices for use by their personnel.
