body

 

BACKGROUND

In June 2022, the Board of Supervisors adopted the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Fire Budget, which included the cost of two Type I Fire Engines in the amount of $1,683,327 (County Purchase Order 23000797).  Staff is requesting the approval of a Budget Amendment to complete manufacturer modifications to these two pieces of apparatus.  With an unforeseen rise in costs and the vendors production schedule, there has been an increase of $120,000 to the original purchase order.

Requested Action: 
  1.  Approve Budget Amendment increasing appropriations by $120,000 in Fire Operations Capital Assets (2100000-55400) offset by use of Special Department Expense in Fire Operations (2100000-53600), with no net change to the Fire Fund.
 

 

FISCAL & STRATEGIC PLAN IMPACT

Is there a Fiscal Impact?

Yes

Is it currently budgeted?

No

Where is it budgeted?

Fire Protection Budget Unit (2100).  This request will increase appropriations in the Fire Operations Capital Asset with an offsetting reduction in available funds in Fire Operations Special Department Expense.

Is it Mandatory or Discretionary?

Discretionary

Discretionary Justification:

The cost increases were unforeseen of two new, previously approved, Type I Fire Engines.

Is the general fund affected?

No

Future fiscal impact:

The cost of repairs and updates would be supported by the Fire Protection Fund (2100).

Consequences if not approved:

The vehicles would not be outfitted properly and be under used for emergency situations.

 

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The proposed action is not a project as defined by California Code of Regulations, title 14, section 15378 (State CEQA Guidelines) and therefore CEQA is not applicable.
