BFD to transfer money to purchase fire props after city council approval

The Baytown Fire Control, Prevention, and EMS District recently approved on October 16, 2018 meeting; to transfer monies from Contingency/New Initiatives to Machinery & Equipment in order to purchase fire props for the Baytown Fire Traning Facility. The monies associated with this purchase were budgeted in the BFCPEMS District FY 2017-2018 Budget. However, due to repairs being made to correct the foundation of the burn building, staff was not able to complete the purchase of said props prior to the end of the FY 2017-2018 budget cycle. Therefore, this amendment allows for those monies to be transferred from Contingency/New Initiatives to the appropriate line item in the current budget to complete the $175,000 purchase. This item is for consideration with the city council.
