Title

A Resolution Accepting Unbudgeted Donations in FY22 from Several Sources to the Foley Fire Department

 

Summary

The Foley Fire Department has received generous donations this fiscal year from several sources wishing to provide funding for additional equipment.  We have identified a need for a Forcible Entry Door Training Prop and a Bumper Push Bar and Winch kit for our new command truck.  We are requesting that our Fire Department Donations account 100-2020-4651 be amended to reflect the unbudgeted $8000 and our Capital Purchases account 100-2020-5100 be amended to show an additional $5500 and our Vehicle Maintenance account 100-2020-6032 be amended to show an additional $2500, for a net effect of $0.  We are requesting approval to purchase the Door Prop from East Coast Rescue Solutions for a total of $8395 using the donated $5500 and $2895 in budgeted funds unused from our boat purchases.  This will be a budget neutral purchase.
