ExxonMobil presented the City of Billings Fire Department with a check in the amount of $2,500 on December 20, 2016. The letter from J. Jeb Montgomery stated that these funds are in general support of Billings Fire Department and to be used to purchase and upgrade emergency response equipment for the Fire Department. Fire Administration is currently assessing future equipment needs. City policy requires that any donation exceeding $500.00 must be accepted by the Council before the funds can be expended.

City Council may accept or reject the donation.

Acceptance of this donation will allow the Fire Department to purchase or upgrade emergency response equipment.

Staff recommends that the City Council accept the $2,500 donation from ExxonMobil to purchase and upgrade as yet unidentified emergency response equipment.
