Re: Fire Relief Donation
Background:
As mentioned last month, the Scandia Fire Relief Association would like to donate funds to the
City so that a strut kit may be purchased.
Issue:
Should the City accept the donation of cash for the purchase of a strut kit from the Scandia Fire
Relief Association?
Proposal Details:
Included in your packet is a resolution to accept a $5,458.09 cash donation from the Scandia Fire
Relief Association. The donation is specifically earmarked for the purchase of a strut kit. The
Fire Department would use the strut kit to stabilize vehicles in an automobile accident.
Funds are being donated to the City for this purchase, rather than the equipment, to allow the
City to make a tax-exempt purchase.
Fiscal Impact:
This is budget neutral since the Council adopted an amended Fire Dept budget in December that
added the funds to the revenue and expenses.
Options:
1) Approve Resolution 01-21-14-05
2) Amend and then Approve Resolution 01-21-14-05
3) Do not accept the donation
Recommendation:
Option 1.
