Title
Consideration of and action on a recommendation to City Council to amend the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Fire Control Prevention and Emergency Medical Services District Budget for the Purchase of a 2022 Chevy 4500 Diesel Chassis with Patient Compartment.
Body
Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Fire Control Prevention and Emergency Medical Services District (FCPEMS) Budget includes funding to purchase a 2022 Chevy 4500 diesel chassis with a patient compartment (ambulance) to replace Medic 4 from Knapp Chevrolet through HGAC Contract #AM10-20. The total cost of the ambulance is $283,302.00; however only $266,000.00 was budgeted due to receiving $19,000.00 in trade in value for the current Medic 4.
In November 2023, the current Medic 4 was involved in an accident, causing the ambulance to be totaled. As a result, the District lost $19,000.00 in trade in value to offset the cost of the new ambulance. The District is now required to pay the full cost of the ambulance, causing this line item to exceed its budgeted appropriation. A $103,340.00 insurance reimbursement payment for the totaled Medic 4 has been received and will be posted as revenue.
To fully fund the purchase of the new Medic 4, a budget amendment in the amount of $19,000.00 is necessary.
This budget amendment is scheduled to be approved by the City Council at their meeting on April 16, 2024.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
Add $19,000.00 to the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 FCPEMS budget for the EMS Department (Account No. 830-312-49060, Automobiles) to be funded by the unassigned fund balance of the FCPEMS District, which is available for this purpose.
Recommended action
Approve the recommendation to amend the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 budget for the FCPEMSD.
