The total amount to replace the equipment will be in the amount of $8,260.00. The Fire Department and the Public Works Department will be sharing the cost. The Fire Department will be responsible for $4, 130.00 towards this purchase. ANALYSIS The device for respirator fit testing that has been used by the Fire Department and members of the Public Works Department has reached the end of its life cycle. This will bring the testing capabilities in line with the City of Oshkosh Respiratory Protection Program. This purchase will enable us to better provide for the short- and long-term safety of our employees. FISCAL IMPACT The amount of $4,130.00 will be covered through available fund balance within the Fire/Safety Special Fund. A Budget amendment has been prepared for the machinery & equipment account (0217-0230-7204). 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 employees safe. Respectfully Submitted, Approved: Mike Stanley Mark Rohloff Fire Chief City Manager TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Allen Davis, Community Development Director DATE: February 21, 2019 RE: Budget Amendment - Inspection Services BACKGROUND The City of Oshkosh adopted a 2019 Budget in November, 2019. Since that time, the Rental Housing Inspection Program has been redesigned and construction permits and inspections have continued to increase. As a result, some staff will be reassigned hours from the various divisions within Inspection Services to meet service needs. No staff is being added or subtracted, existing staff is being assigned to the funds based on the work demands. ANALYSIS The Inspection Services, Weights and Measures, and Rental Inspection divisions haven multiple staff assigned to each program, with accompanying staffing costs. Based on the prospective workloads in all the divisions, some staff have been assigned additional hours in the Inspections Services division. The staff employment is unchanged and the work hours assigned should meet the demands of the programs for the necessary permitting, inspections, and consultations. FISCAL IMPACT There will be an increase of $30,100 in Inspections Services personnel costs. Inspection Services revenue is adequate for the additional staff assigned to the function. There is no impact on the City levy since Inspection Services is operated as an Enterprise Fund. RECOMMENDATION The Council approves the proposed Budget Amendment.

Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 920.236.5000 http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us TO: FROM: DATE: RE: Oshkosh Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council Trena Larson, Finance Director & Jon Urben, General Services Manager February 21, 2019 Amend 2019 Operations Budget — Convention Center $40,000 BACKGROUND As part of the annual operations budget for the Convention Center, the City is required to fund a maintenance/repair fund maintained at the Oshkosh Community Foundation. The City is required to deposit $40,000 annually. ANALYSIS In early February of this year the Convention Center experienced various maintenance repairs/replacements as a result of extreme cold/subzero temperatures that resulted in broken water pipes, burst water sprinkler lines, failed heating systems and more. It is anticipated the approximate costs of these repairs/replacements and clean-up will be $25,000-$30,000. Staff is requesting a budget amendment to cover these damages which will be funded through revenue received from the insurance claim. In addition, this amendment will also cover the recent unanticipated replacement of 12 board room conference chairs and three audio amplifiers in the audio booth. Both the amplifiers and chairs failed due to normal wear and tear and will be funded through the Convention Center Maintenance Fund. FISCAL IMPACT This budget amendment is budget neutral as these items will be funded through an insurance claim and a reimbursement from the Convention Center Maintenance Fund held at the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council pass this resolution.
