SUBJECT
Adopt Appropriation Ordinance for Fiscal Year 2004-2005 for the Purchase of ISO Equipment for

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing General
Fund appropriations for Fiscal Year 2004-2005 by $100 000 and decreasing the unreserved undesignated
General Fund balance by the same amount for the purchase of ISO equipment for the Fire Department.
DISCUSSION
The Fire Department will use these funds to purchase equipment identified as needed to raise the City's
ISO Public Protection Classification (PPC} from 3 to 2.
In 1999-00 the Fire Department participated in an informal ISO assessment to determine the steps needed
in order to achieve a PPC 2 rating Three areas of improvement were identified -the increase of fire
company staffing from 3 to 4 persons per shift, providing a Compressed Air Foam System (CAPS) for fire
pumpers and the acquisition of various hose nozzles and other equipment. The purchase of the nozzles
and other equipment is the last area of improvement needed for the Fire Department to schedule a formal
review by ISO to upgrade the PPC rating
Upon adoption of the appropriation ordinance the Fire Department will follow standard City purchasing
procedures for acquisition of the equipment.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION
The Finance Director certifies that upon adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance funds will be
available in the Fiscal Year 2004-2005 operating budget, as appropriated of the General Fund Upon
completion of this action the unreserved undesignated fund balance of the General Fund will be
$47 753 635
