RE: Approve Operating Budget Amendment to increase Employee
Training/Development for Hazardous-Materials Refresher Training for the
Oshkosh Fire Department ($1,675.00)
BACKGROUND
To maintain competencies and to be best prepared for response the Oshkosh Fire Department
must provide continuing and refresher training to its members of the Hazardous-Material
Team. To offer the highest standard of training and updated information it can be beneficial to
contract an external trainer or to send team members to external trainings.
ANALYSIS
This year with new members joining the team, emerging technologies, and increased training
opportunities, and rising costs, the expense of training has exceeded initial projections for this
line item.
FISCAL IMPACT
This expense was not originally budgeted for in the Fire Special Revenue fund in 2022. A
Budget Amendment is necessary to allow for an increase of expenses in account 0235-0230-
20557-6421, Employee Training/Development, to facilitate the purchase of this HazMat training.
The $1,675.00 will be transferred from available fund balance in the Fire Special Revenue fund.
RECOMMENDATION
The recommendation would be that Common Council approve this amendment to cover the
costs of the training. This training 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
