Dear Mr. Emhoff
Thank you for taking the time to talk with me today about the possible surplus of the
Ford Expedition . As I explained on the phone w.e are a.public hospital district based
EMS /Ambulance System that covers communities m Yakifiaand Benton Counties. Our
service area is over 1000 square miles which makes delivering and managing these types
of operations over such a large expanse very challenging.
Our service is responsible for approximately 1200 calls each year in Yakima County
alone. We are currently in need of a command level vehicle capable of transportin
equipment and staff to better assist us m the delivery of these very necessary services.
Our plan if such a vehicle were made available will be to put it into service immediately
upon receipt and any additionahZdifitti hat may need to be made.

Currently we are experiencing:, funding shortfalls of the3fedefali and state level This has
meant that we had to indefinite ° the acquisition of any such vehicle. A6y
consideration by Yakima Police Department in the surplus of this a vehicle would be
greatly appreciated by our organization.
