Keene committee okays transfer of $39,564 to ambulance replacement CIP
Summary
The Finance, Organization and Personnel Committee unanimously recommended the city manager be authorized to transfer $39,564 in unspent FY2025 operating funds into the FY2025 ambulance replacement capital program after the department failed to secure a grant.
Fire Chief Jason Martin told the committee he was seeking authorization to move $39,564 in unspent FY2025 operating funds—left over from an unsuccessful grant match—into the city’s FY2025 ambulance replacement capital improvement project so the department could purchase a new ambulance. "I'm asking for consideration of moving unspent operational funds ... to buy a nice product for the ambulance," Martin said.
A councilor moved that the committee recommend the city manager be authorized to transfer the funds; the motion was seconded and the committee voted unanimously in favor. The chair announced there were no votes in opposition.
This action is an internal reallocation of available municipal funds to a capital project; the committee did not discuss additional borrowing or changes to the CIP beyond approving the transfer. No individual vote tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript; the chair characterized the vote as unanimous.
The committee moved on to other agenda items after the vote; the committee did not set any follow-up reporting dates in the public discussion.
