� f RE: Expenditure of Donations
� As you are aware , during the year we have received donations from
� several civic organizations . Our goal was to put this money
, towards the purchase of a Hurst Tool (hydraulic rescue
� , extrication tool ) , This item was originally in the CIP but had
� � to be cut due to budget con�traints for the upcoming years . The .
,� total package, including a11 thF necessary attachmenfis, amaunts
to $13,OQ0. We have workea out a deal with Metro Fire Equipment
whereby we can purchase the equipment .over a two years time at no
� interest and have del.ivery af the equipment right away. Because
� that optian 3s auailable` to us, we wilT be spending $5 ,4UO that
wa� given to us in donations . We will also be spending
�ppraximately $G ,000 which the fire fighters raised themselves
dur3ng our fire prevention activities by way o� our fire
; � prevention activity booklet . The unpa�td balance will be paid of�
, . during the two years time . At the present time we do not have
those monies. We do, however, anticipate reeeiving more
danati.ons and raising mare money through our own fund raising
� y.: activities,
{ °
� The reasot� far my memo at this time is two-fold. First of a11;
because the $5,400 in donations was put into the city' s general
���>> account, it will appear as an expenditure on some `future council
' agenda bi11s listing, It will appear as an expenditure of eity
money and an item that should have been dealt 'with by yourselves
and in reality �.t really shouldn ' t .' Secondly, again because it
; has run through the eity' s general account and then has been
i' expended through �he fire department account, it will appear as
I an avexrun in the budget at years end; In reality the $5 ,4�0
, wfll have been received in an account �ohich is not credited to
the fire department , but the money iaill be spent out of the fire
;. department and charged against the department , thus looking as an
� overrun in the budget . The fire department budget ' will not
actually have been overrun due to this item.
, `
Thank you for your consideratiorr in this matter.
