Approve a Budget Amendment to increase the Fire Operations Capital Assets appropriation by $4,000 to make a manufacturing modification to the new Truck 12 apparatus that was not included in the original capital asset request of $1,540,540. (Fiscal Impact, $4,000; Fire Fund 2100, Budgeted; Discretionary)

BACKGROUND
On November 31, 2021, the Board of Supervisor approved the purchase of a new Aerial Truck from Golden State Fire/Pierce Manufacturing, with intent to replace the current truck in service. The current equipment (Truck 12) was purchased in 2005 and has now outlived its service life. This request will allow for safety modifications to be completed on seats in the back passenger area giving more leg room when SCBA (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus) equipment is deployed. Due to the unforeseen rise in costs and the vendors production schedule, there has been an increase of costs to these modifications.
Requested Action:
1. Approve Budget Amendment increasing appropriations in Fire Ops Transfer Out (2100000-57900) $4,000, offset by a decrease in Fire Ops Special Dept Expense (2100000-53600) to be transferred to Yountville Transfer In (2100012-49900) $4,000, and to an increase in Yountville Equipment (2100012-55400) $4,000, with no net change to the Fire Fund.
