Issue: The department has been awarded an HB2604 Texas Forest Service grant for 10 firefighters (volunteer & paid) to attend TEEX Municipal Fire School, July 24-29, 2016. The department does not qualify for meals and lodging under this grant due to county population size under federal funding guidelines. The department seeks a line item transfer to cover this additional cost for personnel to attend this annual training.

Solution: To transfer funds from the training, local mileage, and materials & supplies line items, to the administrative travel line item to cover these costs.

Result: Firefighters will be provided with hands-on skills training. This will assist Webb County Fire to motivate and retain volunteers, as well as have a safe incident scene and well trained personnel.
