Title
Request to Reallocate Capital Improvement Project Funds to Replace Equipment at Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Facilities and Parks (NB)
This is a request to use unexpended Capital Improvement Project (CIP) funds, which were allocated for specific items, for general equipment needs.
Explanation
In the FY 2015-2019 CIP, the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs (PRCA) Department received funding to replace 20 Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), over a two-year period because the current AED batteries are no longer available, making them outdated. The department acquired a grant, which reduced the cost of replacement by 50%, resulting in a project balance of $15,038. The funds remaining are needed to replace a variety of other pieces of equipment throughout the department, such as tennis court windscreens, drinking fountains, etc.
PRCA is seeking permission to reallocate the remaining AED replacement funds and use them to replace other park and facility-related equipment.
Fiscal Note
$15,039 from a General Fund transfer to the General Capital Projects Fund in the FY 2015-2019 Capital Improvement Project Plan is requested to be reallocated to replace various pieces of facility and park equipment.
Recommendation
The City Commission approve reallocation of remaining funds from the existing AED project to be used for PRCA Equipment Maintenance and Replacement.
