For everyone who provided valuable insight and information, Thank you very much for the education.
For all you SAPSs out there, It was issued by authorized personnel for this purpose.
Just wanted to have a better idea of the situation before or instead of having to take it in and deal with the political bureaucracy who's attitudes and outlooks change with the weather.
When highly important emergency equipment goes months or years w/o being repaired or replaced, sometimes you wanna try to resolve things off the books if at all possible.
I just wanted a better understanding of the situation, possible causes and resolutions before trying to deal w/ the city bureaucracy about something like this.
With the mayor going to prison, The city going bankrupt and not being able to pay bills, and emergency manager taking over, this might end up on the back of someones bench for 8 months before they even look at it.
