Council approves $25,000 budget amendment for fire apparatus repairs
Summary
The Administrative Services Committee authorized a $25,000 budget amendment shifting funds to the fire department 'repairs to rolling stock' account to cover unanticipated vehicle repair costs.
The Administrative Services Committee approved a request from Fire Chief Gonzales for a $25,000 budget amendment to cover unanticipated repairs to fire apparatus.
Chief Gonzales told councilors the department’s heavy-vehicle inspections reveal issues early and that repair accounts were largely depleted; he asked the committee to move $25,000 from other line items into the repairs-to-rolling-stock account to carry the fleet through the remainder of the fiscal year. Committee members moved, seconded and recorded affirmative votes to approve the transfer.
Councilors did not request a line-item breakdown of the repairs or identify specific vehicles during the public discussion on the record.
