			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I am a member of the Board of Directors on my department and I am researching the request of our Chief to purchase a used 1979 Pierce/Osh Kosh Snorkel. First of all we are a small volunteer department with 25 members. We have approximately 2 businesses and 3 one+ story homes.
