TITLE
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE TRANSFER OF $58,040.00 FROM THE
GRANT MATCHING FUND ACCOUNT INTO THE FIREFIGHTING CAPITAL
OUTLAY ACCOUNT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
ISSUE
Should the City Council transfer funds to make upgrades to self- contained
breathing apparatus?
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of resolution
BACKGROUND
The Fire Department needs to make upgrades to the self- contained breathing
apparatus. The upgrades will improve firefighter safety and also allow us to
conform to National Safety Standards. Total cost of the upgrades is
approximately $144,000.00. The upgrades will be done in two phases;
$58,040.00 in 2005 and the remaining amount when funds become available.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The amount of $58,040.00 will be expended for phase one of the upgrade.
However, the funds are already appropriated within the general fund. An
additional appropriation will be required in future years to complete phase two of
the upgrade.
