James Banta, Fire Chief and Steven Cohoon, P.E., County Engineer |
Fire Rescue and Transportation |
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
Fire Rescue and Transportation have entered into an agreement to exchange capital equipment to meet the operational needs of both departments. As part of this exchange, Transportation has transferred a skid steer, valued at $37,000, to Fire Rescue. In return, Fire Rescue has provided Transportation with three lawn mowers, each valued at $1,000, totaling $3,000. Since the lawn mowers are not considered capital equipment and will not be inventoried, the net difference of $34,000 will be transferred from Fire Rescue to Transportation to reconcile the asset valuation.
Fire Rescue has no allocated funding in the Machinery & Equipment account for FY 2026. Therefore, the $34,000 needed for the equipment exchange will be sourced from the Reserve for Contingencies. This is a non-recurring, one-time transaction.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
Increase County Transportation Maintenance Fund appropriation by $34,000.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommended action
Approve attached Budget Amendment Resolution.
