LOG NAME: 36VENTAHOOD
REFERENCE NO.: ~~G-16023
SUBJECT:
Adopt Appropriation Ordinances and Transfer from Capital Projects Reserve Fund to the General
Fund for the Compliance Upgrades of Vent-a-Hoods at Various Fire Stations
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Capital Projects Reserve Fund by $27,500 from available funds;
2. Authorize the transfer of $27,500 from the Capital Projects Reserve Fund to the General Fund;
3. Adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and
appropriations in the General Fund by $27,500, from available funds; and
4. Approve the use of up to $27,500 for upgrades to vent-a-hoods at various Fire Stations.
DISCUSSION:
Fire Stations have vent-a-hood commercial fire suppression systems as part of the commercial cook stove
system. The State Commissioner of Insurance, through the State Fire Marshal, has amended the Fire
Extinguisher Rules which requires that these suppression systems be upgraded to an R-102 system by
January 1, 2008.
There are 11 fire stations that need an updated commercial stove vent-a-hood fire suppression system to
meet this requirement. After January 1, 2008, all existing re-engineered fixed fire extinguishing systems,
installed in accordance with NFPA 17, NFPA 17A or NFPA 96 of the adopted standards, for the protection
of commercial cooking areas, must meet the minimum requirements of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.,
Standard 300.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation and adoption of the
attached supplemental appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as
appropriated, of the General Fund. The cash balance of the Capital Projects Reserve Fund after this
transfer will be $4,693,249.
