RE: Budget Amendment for 2019 Fire/Safety 217-0230
BACKGROUND
In order to allow the hazardous materials team members to communicate with each other at
emergency incidents additional portable radios will need to be purchased. The total amount to
replace the equipment will be in the amount of$28,292.00.
ANALYSIS
The portable radios that had been used by the hazardous materials team have become obsolete.
Also, with the recent replacement of the self-contained breathing apparatus equipment the old
system will no longer integrate with the face pieces. In order for the team members to safely
and efficiently communicate with each other new radios will need to be purchased.
FISCAL IMPACT
The amount of$28,292.00 will be covered by an available fund balance within the Fire/Safety
Special Fund 217-0230. Funds will be transferred to account 217-0230 in order to complete the
purchase.
RECOMMENDATION
The recommendation would be that Common Council approve this amendment so purchasing
the equipment can occur. This will allow us to continue a high level of service and keep our
community and our firefighters safe.
Respectfull . . itted,� Approved:
