Re: Firefighter Relief Dive Gear Donation
Background:
Scandia Fire Department received approval to purchase $10,144 from City funds and a donation from
Washington County. When making that purchase the team determined they missed a couple of small items to
purchase. The team asked the Relief Association for funding to cover these items. The Relief has agreed to pay
$2,195 so the team can purchase all the items.
Issue:
Should the City Council accept the donation from the Relief Association to purchase additional dive gear?
Proposal Details:
Accept the donation from the Relief Association in the amount of $2,195.00
Fiscal Impact:
None covers the cost of the purchase.
Options:
(1) Accept donation
(2) Decline donation
Recommendation:
