Members Present: Mayor Glen Hardin Councilmember Carolyn Beahen Councilmember Sheila Beyer (arrived late) Councilmember Kenneth Peterson Councilmember Gerald Zimmerman Also Present: City Adminisa'ator Ryan Schroeder Finance Officer Jessie Hart Administrative Services Manager Linda Waite Smith Fire Chief Dean Kapler CALL TO ORDER Councilmember Peterson called the regular meeting of the Finance Committee to order at 6:05 p.m. CITIZEN INPUT None CONSENT AGENDA None APPROVE AGENDA Consensus was to approve the agenda with the addition of Case #6. COMMITTEE BUSINESS: Case #1: Authorize Budget Amendment for Acceptance of Grant and Purchase of Automatic Defibrillator Device for the Fire Department Finance Officer Hart reported that the Fire Department applied for and was awarded a matching funds grant for the purchase of an automatic defibrillator device. The grant was obtained through the Prudential Helping Heart Program. The grant and related purchase was not planned for in the 1996 or the 1997 budgets and, therefore, will require a budget amendment if the purchase is approved. The Fire Chief has done an analysis on his department budget for 1996, and has determined that the $1,877.59 of needed matching funds could be obtained through a budget re- allocation from the training line item. The excess money is available due to the fact that the officers did not have a management training session and the "day" responders did not require training beyond that which was provided in the evening. The impact of this budget amendment would be an increase in the overall budget by $1,877.59 and a re-allocation of $1,877.59 from the training line item to a capital equipment line item.
