computers (MOTs)
Background Summary:
The FY2004-05 budget approved $31,300 in account 001-522-00-6405 for the purchase of six (6) laptop
computers (MOTs) and supporting equipment and software to be installed in Fire Department response vehicles.
Issue:
Due to improved technology and the decision to purchase more durable equipment, the actual current cost of the
equipment is $35,850. This creates a shortfall of $4,550 in account 001-522-00-6405. Account 001-522-00-6400
approved $37,000 for the purchase of station alerting systems. The actual amount paid was $29,016, creating an
unencumbered surplus of $7,984 in account 001-522-00-6400.
Recommendations
Approve the transfer of the $7,984 surplus from account 001-522-00-6400 to account 001-522-00-6405. This will
cover the $4,550 shortage for the purchase of the laptops (MOTs) and supporting software. It will also make an
extra $3,434 available for any additional related costs that are not evident now.
Attachments:
None
Financial Impact:
Approval of this transfer of funds will not have any negative financial impact on the current approved budget. No
