Summary
The committee approved two intra-department transfers for the fire department: $6,000 from tuition and schools to travel/conference expenses for recruitment and $12,500 from fuel to cover physicals and related supply shortfalls; vote 3-0.
The finance committee on July 21 approved two line-item transfers requested by Fire Chief Broadhead to cover training, recruiting travel and personnel-physical expenses.
Chief Broadhead told the committee he needed $6,000 moved from a tuition-and-schools account into travel and conference to support sending new hires to recruitment schools, covering hotel, lodging and meals. He also requested $12,500 moved from fuel into supply/physical accounts to cover repeated overdraws in physicals expense due to injuries. Broadhead said the transfers involve no new money overall and that the shifts would allow the department to meet immediate obligations.
Motion and vote: Councilor Brandt moved approval; Councilor Harden seconded. The committee approved the two transfers by voice vote, 3-0.
Action: Finance staff to process the line-item transfers as requested; no new funds were added.
