RE: Accept Hazardous Materials Grant from Green Lake County and Approve
Amendment to Fire Department 2022 Operating Budget to Allow for Expenditure
of Grant Funds for Purchase of Dual Band Portable Radio ($7,517.31)
BACKGROUND
The Oshkosh Fire Department received a Hazardous Materials Grant from Green Lake County
to purchase a dual-band portable radio. This award is through the Emergency Planning and
Community Right to Know (EPCRA) grant from Green Lake County.
ANALYSIS
The Oshkosh Fire Department was awarded $7,517.31 from Green Lake County through the
Wisconsin Emergency Management EPCRA Grant program. These funds will be utilized to
purchase a dual-band portable radio to enhance communications and increase interoperability
on hazardous materials incidents.
FISCAL IMPACT
This revenue was not originally budgeted for in 2022. A Budget Amendment is necessary to
allow for an increase of revenues in account 0235-0230-20567, Hazmat Green Lake. This
amendment will also allow for an increase of expenditures of $7,306.67 for account, 0235-0230-
6550-20557 Minor Equipment.
RECOMMENDATION
The recommendation would be that Common Council approve this amendment to accept the
award and subsequently make purchases with the grant dollars. This purchase 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
