RE: ERP
The additional $56, 843 in the Fire Suppression budget are as follows:
$3,615-ln Salaries and Employee Benefits
Roughly a 2% increase Lori added this to the budget.
$13,400-ln General Supplies
. Our past 3 year average was $18,635. We adjusted
budget to better reflect the actual cost and the additional
$6,365 was added to cover the increase in space and
general supply issues at the new fire station.
$3,500-ln Maintenance-Structures
This was added to cover additional maintenance costs with
more overhead doors, HVAC, etc.
$$5,500-ln Expert and Professional Services
This was added to cover this year's OSHA required firefighter
physicals.
$2,800-ln Other Contractual Services
This was added to cover inspection costs for elevators,
boilers, HV ACs, etc.
$3,500-ln Telephones-Cellular
Our past 3 year average was $7,731. We adjusted
budget to better reflect the actual cost.
$11 ,OOO-In Radio Contract
. 11/11/04 Confidential 1
, ,
.
. This is our portion of the maintenance contract for the new
radio system.
$10,OOO-ln Other Equipment
This is for a floor sweeper and scrubber to be use to maintain
the apparatus floor at the new station.
The remaining $3,538 reflects a slight increase in various budget codes in the Fire
Suppression Division.
In the Fire Prevention Division the additional $28,629 was added to cover the costs
of the fulltime Fire Chief/Fire Marshal. There was a need to increase the current
fire marshal budget to allow us to attract a good candidate.
If you or the council have any other questions, please let me know.
