The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication(M&C)is to decrease fiscal year(FY)2021 appropriations in the Fire Department's
General Fund budget for the purpose of transferring to a Capital Project Fund.These funds will then be used for the purchase of two truck
attenuator systems that will be installed on two older fire trucks that will then serve as blocking trucks for freeway incidents.These funds in the
amount of$75,000.00 are available in the Fire's General Operating and Maintenance category within the General Fund,which is forecasted to
have a surplus by the end of FY2021.The truck attenuator systems are considered a capital purchase,so the available funds will be transferred
out to the programmable project for the purpose of funding the Fire Department Vehicle Capital project.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are currently available in the operating budget,as appropriated,in the General Oper and Maint
catergory within the General Fund and upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the appropriation ordinance,funds will be
