DATE:

SUBJECT:

Res 24-493 Approve Amendment to the 2024 Operations Budget - Media Services for Drone Donation ($3,515.00)

BACKGROUND

At their November 14, 2023, meeting, the Common Council adopted the 2024 budget. In July 2024, the Friends of Oshkosh Community Media (OCM) indicated they would like to support the purchase of an additional drone for Oshkosh Media to enhance productions such as city project updates, park and Riverwalk tours, stormwater projects, community event coverage and more. The Friends of OCM donated funds to facilitate the purchase of Oshkosh Media’s first drone in 2020, and the new drone will feature technological advances and provide higher quality photo and video content. Since the 2024 Media Services budget did not anticipate this donation, a budget amendment must be approved. The City Manager accepted the drone donation in concert with the city’s donation policy.

ANALYSIS

The Friends of OCM donation covers the anticipated costs for this project including the drone and accessories ($3,515.00).

FISCAL IMPACT

The total fiscal impact of this budget amendment is the $3,515.00 donation from the Friends of OCM. The donation will be deposited into the Oshkosh Media revenue account (A/N#: 01000150 4952). The amendment will authorize acceptance of the donation and authorize funding for the drone and its accessories (A/N#: 01000150 7204).

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends the Council approve this resolution.
