RESOLUTION WITHDRAWN BY SPONSOR - Legislator Dimond withdrew his sponsorship.(1/23/2018)
I. Nature of Request:
RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE FY2017 STATE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE GRANT(EMPG) FROM NYS HOMELAND SECURITY AND AMENDING THE 2018 OPERATING BUDGET (EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT)
II. Justification:
This grant allows for $23,688.00 to be used towards the purchase of a new vehicle. Emergency Management continues to receive equipment from the State that is required to tow to different types of scenes, the last item being a spill response trailer from DEC. Undertsnading that it is difficult to purchase vehicles, the Director lobbied the state for approval and was able to obtain this money towards a purchase. We then had communications with DPW Commissioner Eric Mead, through this communication an agreement was reached to share the use fo this vehicle, so that it will benefit two departments. If approved the required match funds will be coming from the DPW budget, transfered over to our vehicle line so we can make the purchase. Once the vehicle is obtained it will be used everyday by the DPW buildings and grounds supervisor and left for our use overnight and on weekends. Should an emergency arise then we would take over the vehicle immediately regardless of the time. It is our hopes that you see the benefit of this purchase, combined with the benefit of the grant money. This will enable us to hall the appropriate equipment to a potential scene without problem. Please contact me with any questions/concerns, thank you!
III. Legislative Impact:
Pursuant to Article 2 of the Charter the Legislature has the authority to make appropriations and the Executive has the authority to sign contracts.
IV. Financial Impact:
The financial impact is the approval of a transfer from the DPW budget to our budget and the approval to spend $23, 688 towards a vehicle purchase.
This vehicle is a 3500HD Chevrolet Silverado with heavy duty tow package, bed liner, tool box, bed cover, lights, siren and radio.
