RE: Budget Amendment for 2021 Fire General Operating Fund 0100-0230-6466, Miscellaneous
Contractual Service, for the Purchase of Strategic Planning Services for the Oshkosh Fire
Department. ($16,800.00)
BACKGROUND
The Oshkosh Fire Department is pursuing accreditation from the Commission on Fire Accreditation
International (CFAI). Accreditation is a process of self-assessment that encourages quality improvement,
provides greater community alignment, and supports data driven decision making. A departmental
strategic plan is the foundation for accreditation and has not taken place at the Fire Department since
2009.
ANALYSIS
The amendment will allow for the purchase of services from the Center for Public Safety Excellence
(CPSE). CPSE specializes in working with fire departments and their community stakeholders to
facilitate strategic planning and create a final plan for submission to the CFAI as part of the required self-
assessment.
FISCAL IMPACT
This expense was not originally budgeted for 2021. A Budget Amendment is necessary to allow for an
increase of expenditures in account 0100-0230-6466, Miscellaneous Contractual Services, to facilitate the
purchase of this service.
The amendment will allow for an increase of expenditures of $16,800.00 from account, 0100-0914-6461,
Contingency.
RECOMMENDATION
The recommendation would be that Common Council approve this amendment so purchasing of
professional services can occur. This purchase of services will be of direct benefit to the department, the
City of Oshkosh, and those we serve.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
Mike Stanley Mark Rohloff
Fire Chief City Manager
