Accept Supplemental Eviornmental Protection (SEP).  Total of $365,000.

The Evironmental Protection Agency has entered into an approved BP Products funding of a SEP as part of an agreed order. 

The SEP is item specific and is as follows:

one ambulance, repeaters for present radio system, computers for eoc, one optigon system, a light tower for Emergency Management, remodling for EOC- main room.

new ambulance is needed to maintain fleet effectivness; repeaters are a backup system and will be used when present system is destroyed by some event such as a hurricane.  This will place us in a position to restore our radio system in a short period of time; new computers for the EOC conference room will allow us to move information quicker and in much larger quanties during an emergency; optigon system will be a system that begins with the fire department and gives that discipline the ability to change red lights to green as they approach an intersection ensuring safe passage.  All fire will be covered and most intersections will be included, to be expanded to other emergency vehicles in the near future; a light tower for emergency management was identified as a defenicy during Hurricane Ike.  As we deployed our mobile command post we neede much more light than was available; remodel the EOC-main room is a much needed upgrade to electronic systems present in a ten year old building.
