DISTRICTS) i
RECOMMENDATION: I
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing the {

revenue for the purpose of funding costs related to operating the new Public Safety Training Center.

DISCUSSION: ,
i
As part of the First Quarter 2015 Re-Estimate Process, the Fire Department (Department) identified
$215,383.00 in additional revenue that it expects to collect in Fiscal Year (FY) 2015. The additional
revenue is due to two primary sources: fire alarm system registrations and salary reimbursements from
other agencies. Revenue from fire alarm system registrations is up due to increased construction activity
resulting from improvements in the local economy, while the increase in salary reimbursements revenue is
due to the Department providing more standby-EMS services for area organizations and events and
increased deployment activity during emergency situations across the State. This action would increase
the Department's fire alarm system revenue budget by $96,923.00 and the salary reimbursements i
revenue budget by $118,460.00.
In addition to increasing its revenue budget, the Department proposes using the anticipated revenue to
increase its expenditure budget in order to offset some of the operating expenses expected to be incurred
when the new Public Safety Training Center(PSTC) opens in Spring 2015. Over the past year, the
Department has worked with the Budget Office and other departments to identify and prioritize anticipated
PSTC-related costs and has identified as its most pressing needs the contractual and supply expenses
listed below. These expenses are the most critical because they are: necessary for the proper
maintenance and utilization of the facility, an immediate need and not currently funded in the FY 2015
budget.
