Re: Fire Department Donation
Background: The Fire Department Relief Association is proposing to donate relief association in
the amount of about $7,690.00 to purchase a new thermal camera on the council meeting. The
camera is $6995 + 695 for a truck mounted charger + any shipping costs. If the equipment is
purchased by the City no sales tax is charged. The Department has looked at many different
versions and vendors and decided on the Flir K65 unit.
Issue:
Should the City accept the donation earmarked for the purchase of the Fl-ir K65 thermal camera
and truck mounted charger?
Proposal:
A resolution accepting the donation, approving the purchase and amending the revenue and
expenditures budget for the Fire Department is included in your packet.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no net fiscal impact to the City's operating budget.
Options:
1) Approve Resolution 11-15-16-06
2) Amend and then Approve Resolution 11-15-16-06
3) Take no action on Resolution 11-15-16-06
Recommendation:
Option 1.
