COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Meeting Date: May 24, 2010
r of set
Through: Phillip Oates, City Manage
From: David Squires, Fire Chief
Agenda Item: Appropriation of revenue funds received from fire apparatus rental at the
Railbelt Wild Fire to Fire Department operating budget to purchase items
needed for engine repairs and small tools
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
In 2009 Seward Fire Department sent fire apparatus and personnel to two wildland fires; the
Shanta Creek Fire in July, 2009, and the Railbelt Complex Fire in August, 2009. Through
existing mutual aid agreements payment was received for equipment and personnel used on these
State and Federal wildland fires. The City received payment for the Shanta Creek fire in 2009
received payment for the "vehicle rental" at the Railbelt Complex fire, in the amount of
$5,544.00 in April 2010. These funds are usually deposited into account 101- 0000 - 4880 -0470,
miscellaneous operating revenue and equipment rental.
This resolution is requesting that City Council accept these funds and appropriate a portion to the
Seward Fire Department for the following unanticipated expenses; 1: Engine 1 requires
replacement of its driver's seat at a cost of $1060 including freight; and 2: The newly purchased
SFD pumper requires the purchase of additional rescue and fire fighting equipment in order to be
fully NFPA 1901 compliant. The new pumper equipment will become a permanent addition to
this vehicle. This cost is $1,010. Seward's volunteer firefighters offered to pay for the
equipment to outfit the new pumper but I am requesting that instead Council transfer the wild
land fire "equipment rental" revenue for this purpose and added to our operating budget for FY
2010 under 1010 - 1220 -5460- small tools and equipment.
CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST:
Where applicable, this resolution is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter,
Comprehensive Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures.
INTENT:
The intent of the resolution is to allocate rental funds received for use of Seward Fire Department
fire apparatus to the Fire Department 2010 operating budget to allow for the purchase of items
not originally anticipated in our annual budget requests.

Recommendations:
