Item No. 10 1 C 9
Date: 3/22/2010
Item/Subject: Resolve, Appropriating $36,000 in Assistance to Firefighters Grant Funding
and a $4,000 Local Match to Replace the Self Contained Breathing Apparatus
Fill Station at Central Fire
Responsible Department: Fire
Commentary:
The City has received notification that a grant application to fund the replacement of the self
contained breathing apparatus fill station at Central Fire has been approved by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency. The total cost of a replacement unit is estimated to be
$40,000. The grant provides funding for 90% of the cost or $36,000 and requires a local match
of 10% or $4,000. The current system, which is used to refill the air in the department's
breathing apparatus, was installed in 1997. Some maintenance issues have become a concern
and it has become increasing difficult to find replacement parts.
This equipment is housed at Central Fire and is comprised of a compressor and 12 compressed
air storage cylinders.
The attached resolve will appropriate $40,000 to replace this equipment. The local share of the
funding will be transferred from the City's Fire Equipment Reserve, which has adequate funding
available.
