DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
The County Administrator’s office recommends the Board of Supervisors, sitting as the Board of Directors for the Montezuma Fire Protection District, approve an Appropriation Transfer Request (ATR) totaling $111,000 increasing expenditures for the maintenance and repair of vehicles, fuel, audit costs and utilities and offset by recognizing $111,000 in revenues from fund balance (4/5 vote required).
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The Board of Supervisors, in its capacity as the Board of Directors for the Montezuma Fire Protection District, is being asked to approve an ATR totaling $111,000 which includes $80,000 for maintenance and repair of vehicles, $25,000 for audit services, $3,000 for fuel costs and $3,000 for utilities. It is typical practice for the Montezuma Fire Protection District to take a year end ATR to its Board of Directors.
The $80,000 in maintenance is comprised of $40,000 for overages for vehicles repairs over the year, and an additional $40,000 for the replacement of an engine for a F-350 truck for the Deputy Chief. Remaining increases are to address overages for fuel and electricity costs.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The costs associated with preparing the agenda item are nominal and absorbed by the District’s FY2024/25 Working Budget.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Board may choose not to approve this ATR; however, the appropriations are required to cover operational costs for the District.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
None.
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
