Council approves public safety fund purchases and budget amendments for generators, SCBA equipment
Summary
Council approved a $14,838 request to purchase a step‑down transfer for a generator truck and SCBA breathing apparatus and approved ordinance amendment adding $86,590 in appropriations for public safety and EDC projects.
Seabrook City Council approved two budget items related to public safety on Tuesday: a request for $14,838 to install a generator truck step‑down transfer and to purchase SCBA (self contained breathing apparatus) equipment, and final reading and approval of Ordinance 2025‑10 (Amendment No. 2) adding $86,590 in appropriations for fiscal year 2024–25 for general public safety and EDC items.
The council moved and unanimously approved the $14,838 request to install the step‑down transfer and to purchase SCBA units. The council also approved the ordinance amendment on final reading, authorizing the city manager to take all actions necessary to facilitate the supplemental appropriation using available unencumbered funds or reserve reductions.
Nut graf: The $14,838 purchase will fund vehicle generator interface equipment and SCBA apparatus for emergency responders; the ordinance increases appropriations to cover several public safety needs and EDC items identified by staff.
Staff stated that these actions are intended to maintain public safety readiness and that the city manager has authorization to implement the changes consistent with the ordinance language.
Ending: Both items passed unanimously; staff will proceed with purchases and administrative steps to apply the appropriation adjustments.
