Fire and EMS presented supplemental requests focused on vehicle and equipment replacement, compensation adjustments and personnel support, plus a list of projects proposed for recent donated funds.

Department staff described the need to replace a 2004 command vehicle that is showing mechanical failures and to increase captain pay because recent mid‑year retention adjustments compressed pay between lieutenants and captains. The department requested a full‑time administrative clerk (compensation and benefits included in the presented figure) to manage billing, inspection scheduling and other administrative tasks as EMS revenue collections increase.

The department also proposed replacing two automated CPR devices on a five‑year lease to include service agreements and recurring payments, and requested $5,000 annually for recurring mental‑health assistance for first responders. Fire staff said donated funds — a $50,000 contribution referenced during earlier council business — should be allocated to Station Two floor replacement, three sets of structural gear replacement, bathroom repairs tied to a sewage leak, and hose replacement to meet supply requirements and support ISO rating. Staff also described a SAFER grant the city is pursuing; the city share for that grant was presented as $279,000 for all three years with a first‑year local match near $54,000.

Council did not take formal action at the workshop; staff will include the requests and donated‑fund allocations in the proposed budget and follow up on grant availability and precise cost estimates.
