9.a) Staff Report-Relief Assoc DonationSCANDIA. Staff RepoVt Date of Meeting: January 21, 2014 To: City Council From: Kristina Handt, City Administrator 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.
