Subject:
Discussion and possible action to approve, by Order, the following budget amendment (line item transfer) within the General Fund. [Requested by Risk Management]
Issue: Risk Management has identified a need for additional Automated External Defibrillator (AED) machines and replacement batteries, as existing units are outdated. Furthermore, fire blankets are currently lacking in key areas where they may be critical during fire-related emergencies.
Solution: Approve line-item transfer to allocate funding for the purchase of new AED machines, replacement batteries, and fire blankets. This action will ensure that proper emergency equipment is available and accessible.
Result:This investment will enhance the County’s emergency preparedness and reduce risks and liabilities. Ensuring the availability of up-to-date safety equipment supports a proactive approach to risk management and reinforces the County’s commitment to public and employee safety.
