Issue: Transfer of funds, $10,000.00 to supplement the capital outlay account purchase, installation, and repairs of two brush truck pumps, units 5804 and 5816 are 9 and 13 years old respectively. Also $10,000.00 for repair and maintenance line item, because fiscal year balance has been exhausted due to extensive repairs on units; incidentals may still arise through the remainder of the fiscal year. Additionally, $3,000.00 in travel funds needed for lodging and meals of fire personnel at TEEX Municipal Fire School training in July, department is planning to grant fund tuition for this training.
Solution: Transfer stipend line item funds that have not been utilized to repairs & maintenance of vehicles to repair pumps on units and cover unanticipated vehicle costs, and add funds to the travel line item.
Result: Properly functioning units, ready to assist in times of need, and properly trained personnel ready to man those units. |
