06.d Staff Report Zoll Donation

From: Mike Hinz, Fire Chief
Re: Accept donation from Scandia firefighter relief association
Background:
We recently replaced our monitor/defibrillator with a new Zoll X series. During the process of
replacement we recommended replacement with a unit that exceeded the CIP budget. The
members of the relief association offered to pay the difference between the CIP estimate and the
actual cost of the unit that they felt was the better choice for the city, but at a higher price. The
city council approved the purchase with the understanding the Relief would be making a
donation to the city in the amount of the difference.
Issue:
Should the city accept the donation from the Scandia Firefighter’s Relief Association?
Proposal Details:
Accept the donation in the amount of $6,089.04 from the relief association to cover the cost
difference between what was budgeted and the actual cost.
Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal impact to accept the donation is a positive of $6,089.04
Options:
(1) Accept the donation
(2) Decline the donation
Recommendation:
Option (1).
