Resolution 2020-44
The AFG grant that we just received, allowed us to purchase 21 Self Contained Breathing
Apparatus' (SCBA's), which was based on the riding positions for all of our Fire Engines in our
fleet. We were able to purchase 21 SCBA's with 1 additional bottle for each, totaling 42 bottles.
However, each piece offire apparatus has spare bottle compartments to provide additional bottles
for personnel on scene of a fire, as well as bottles needed for other equipment such as air chisels
and fill bottles for our Rapid Deploy Craft (RDC) rescue boat. After the allowable purchases
through the AFG grant, we are still currently missing 11 bottles to get us to where we need to be
with back ups for personnel and equipment.
In working with Finance, we have identified additional surplus funds in our FY20 budget that we
would like to use to purchase these needed bottles . The City received funds from the CARES Act
that provided monies to cover wages of Fire personnel , creating a surplus. We had enough funds
available to purchase 2 bottles from our Small Tools account, but are requesting a budget revision
transferring funds to purchase the remaining 9 bottles. The total of the 9 bottles is $11,800.
I respectfully request Council approval for this budget revision .
