Fire fund shifts and equipment sale seen relieving near-term capital pressure
Summary
Council reviewed fire pension contribution changes, a planned transfer to capital, and a likely sale of an old rescue truck; staff projected a modest transfer to capital while noting the department recently purchased upgraded equipment.
Staff reviewed the fire fund and related capital plans, saying township contract revenue and a modest increase in fire-pension contributions are reflected in the draft. The staff member said the fire pension revenue estimate rose slightly (example figure cited near $15,050) and that a transfer to capital of about $53,000 is expected under the current assumptions.
Council also discussed the upcoming sale of a rescue truck as a source of one-time funds and agreed not to budget specific sale proceeds because the timing and realized value remain uncertain. "We should just leave it at 0 because we have no idea," staff said about budgeting proceeds, and the council favored conservative treatment of sale income until the sale occurs.
