TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Greg Stelter, Interim Fire Chief DATE: February 25, 2025 SUBJECT: Res 25-82 Budget Amendment for 2025 Fire Special Revenue Fund Funding Assistance Program to Approve an Increase in Expenditures ($4,800.00)

BACKGROUND

The Oshkosh Fire Department requires laundry facilities at each fire station to allow for cleaning of duty uniforms after exposure to contaminates encountered on EMS runs, and is requesting funding for laundry equipment. The Oshkosh Fire Department also has identified EMS training opportunities that are beneficial to staff.

ANALYSIS

A budget amendment for 2025 is necessary to allocate funds to purchase the items listed above. The funding that will be used is from revenue generated by the State of Wisconsin Funding Assistance Program that is intended to support Emergency Medical Services providers.

FISCAL IMPACT

A budget amendment is necessary to allow for an expenditure of $4,800.00 from the following accounts: 02370240-6550-20563 ($1,200); and 02370240-6421-20563 (3,600). There are more than sufficient funds available in the fund balance.

RECOMMENDATION

The recommendation would be that Common Council approve this amendment to accept the award and subsequently make purchases with the grant dollars.  This purchase of services will be of direct benefit to the department, the City of Oshkosh, and those we serve.
