Fire district plans $2 million year-end transfer; grant covers firefighter physicals
Summary
Staff said the fire district intends a $2,000,000 transfer into its special equipment fund at year-end and flagged a $112,000 grant to cover firefighter physicals for roughly 145 personnel; both items will appear on the district consent agenda.
Staff reported several fire-district consent items including a resignation from the Fire District Steering Council, a grant of about $112,000 that appears intended to pay for physicals for roughly 145 firefighters, and a year-end transfer strategy to build the special equipment fund.
Lindsay explained the district's practice of moving remaining general-fund balances into the special equipment fund and said, "So we do intend to do a $2,000,000 transfer now." Staff told commissioners the transfer is not tied to a specific purchase but is a way to build reserves for future capital needs such as vehicles or facility improvements. The grant and the transfer were described as routine year-end actions in the district forecast.
