BACKGROUND:
Initiated by: Steve Chavez
The Roswell Fire Department is requesting approval to purchase a Class A HME Pumper to replace aging frontline equipment and ensure compliance with operational and safety standards. The total cost of the apparatus is $753,215.00. The City has been awarded $600,000.00 from the New Mexico State Fire Marshal’s Office to support this purchase. A budget adjustment is required to recognize this grant revenue and establish expenditure authority within the appropriate fire protection fund.

A budget adjustment is also needed to increase expenditure authority in the Public Safety Fund to cover the local match.
