Recommendation(s):
APPROVE Appropriations and Revenue Adjustment No. 5074 authorizing new revenue in the amount of $60,300 and appropriating it for radio
receivers/related communications equipment and smoke detectors.
Fiscal Impact:
The District's FY 2008-09 General Fund budget (7300) will be increased by $60,300.
Background:
The District has received new revenue totaling $60,300 from two (2) grants: one is a restricted grant from the Fireman's Fund in the amount of $60,000 and
the other is an unrestricted grant from the Firefighters Charitable Foundation Inc. in the amount of $300.
The $60,000 is for a project adding remote radio transmitters, receivers and additional infrastructure support equipment at five (5) locations -- Bald Peak,
Kregor Peak, Cummings, Highland Peak and Nichol Knob. These five (5) radios will be controlled by the District's Communications Center via County
microwave equipment. The purpose of the project is to increase the ability of the Communications Center to monitor, communicate and record the Tactical
channels "B", "C" and "D". This has been identified as a firefighter safety issue. The $300 is for purchasing smoke detectors for senior and/or disabled
homeowners.
