RECOMMENDATION
fr,~n
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached supplemental
zvlcEa~ipropriations ordinance appropriating an additional $90,000 in the General
Fund 01,, Fire Department, Account No. 36-30-00, Fire Operations Section, and
reducing the unreserved, undesignated General Fund bal ance by the same amount
DISCUSSION
House Bill 708, which was passed by the Legislature and signed into law by the
Governor last year, mandates that employing governments, such as cities,
provide inoculations against contagious diseases for their personnel whose
official duties expose them to these diseases. The Department of Law has
determined that the new 1 aw requires the City to provide inoculations for al l
certified firefighters The City may also be liable for providing inoculations
for the immediate family members of exposed personnel. An interdepartmental
task force composed of representatives from the Fire, Risk Management, Health,
and Management Services Departments has studied the requirements of the new law
and has concluded that the cost of compliance with this law will be
approximately $90,000 (775 persons x $116) this year. The most economical way
of providing the inoculations is through the Public Health Department City
Health officials are prepared to perform this role
FINANCING
A supplemental appropriation in the General Fund O1, Fire Department Operation
Section, Account No 36-30-00, in the amount of $90,000 will be necessary.
This will result in an increase appropriating in the General Fund O1, Fire
Department Operations Section, Account No. 36-30-00 and a decrease in the
unreserved, undesignated General Fund O1 bal ance. The bal ance remaining in the
General Funds unreserved, undesignated fund bal ance wi 11 be $16,869,110 after
this transaction.
