COUNCIL DISTRICTS IMPACTED: All
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The following budget amendment is necessary for capital expenditures related to the two generators. The purchase of the generators was due to occur during FY 2022, but due to supply chain issues, the purchase timeline experienced a significant delay. The generators will be purchased through the Emergency Management division within the Fire Department for the Civic Center and the Westside Community Cetner for use during emergency situations, such as providing emergency shelters to the public. The total costs of the two generators are $231,000.
Increase: Capital Expenditures - Emergency Management - $231,000
FISCAL IMPACT:
With the budget amendment, sufficient allocation would be available in the Emergency Management Capital budget for the purchase. There are sufficient surplus reserves in the General Fund to support the amendment.
