Title
Consideration of and action on an ordinance amending the Fiscal Year 2015-2016 Budget to include the cost of additional security measures at the three fire stations.
Body
Summary: The Fiscal Year 2015-2016 Budget for the Fire Department includes a total of $116,750 to upgrade entry access and video surveillance at the three fire stations. As part of the installation, additional doors were identified as entry points that would benefit from the enhanced security measures, and as well, it was determined that increasing the number of internal and external cameras would further improve security. The additional entry access and video surveillance for these buildings will increase the final cost of the project by approximately $14,500. An amendment in the amount of $14,500 to add the cost of these additional security measures is proposed for the Fiscal Year 2015-2016 Budget.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
$14,500 for the cost of additional entry access and video surveillance at the three fire stations will be added to the Fiscal Year 2015-2016 Budget for the Fire Department and will be funded by the unassigned fund balance of the General Fund, which is sufficient to accommodate this expenditure (Account No. 10-304-4903, Improvements Other Than Buildings).
Recommended action
Approve the ordinance to amend the Fiscal Year 2015-2016 Budget to include the cost of additional security measures at the three fire stations.
