Capital plan includes safety projects; staff says new Quint delayed until 2027
Summary
The FY2026 budget includes capital outlays for a fire vehicle and Lake Street pedestrian safety improvements, but staff told trustees the large Quint apparatus delivery has been pushed back to November 2027.
Staff outlined capital items in the FY2026 budget and said several non‑recurring purchases—an approximately $79,000 fire department vehicle, police and fire equipment (thermal camera, water-rescue gear), and a $30,000 pedestrian-safety allocation for Lake Street—would be financed with reserves. The presenters said those items appear in the CIP and are incorporated into the operating document.
When trustees asked about the status and payments for the planned fire apparatus, a staff responder, Bob, said: "I just got notified a month or two ago that it's pushed back to November of 2027 for delivery." Trustees were told staff have accounted for the timing and that the equipment replacement plan will reflect the deferral.
