Agenda Item No. 7
CITY OF YUCAIPA
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Grant Malinowski, Fire Chief
Phil White, Director of Finance
FOR: City Council Meeting of December 9th, 2024
SUBJECT: Budget Adjustments — Fire Fund
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council authorize the following Fire Fund budget adjustments:
1. Increase the equipment maintenance budget by $75,000 for engine maintenance costs; and
2. Increase to the incident expense budget and corresponding revenue budget by $50,000 to address the costs incurred during the current fire season.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Due to a busy fire season, adjustments to the adopted budget are required. The engines have met their expected useful lives and remain in service. Repairs are required more frequently and coupled with the busy season, the equipment maintenance budget has been used quicker than anticipated.
Accordingly, an increase of $75,000 in the maintenance budget is being requested to reload the budget for the remainder of the year.
The City allocates a budget for incident expenses annually. This account is used to track costs related to the deployment of personnel, equipment, and supplies. These costs are reimbursed to the City as revenue in the Fire Fund. The season's high volume and intensity have exhausted the budget, necessitating a request to replenish the account with an additional $50,000. As this is a. reimbursable activity, a corresponding revenue adjustment is being proposed as well.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The recommendations result in a budgeted net increased cost of $75,000 in the Fire Fund.
