Title

Resolution reserving a sum not to exceed $1,097,287 from the 2010 Common Council Contingent Fund to bring back into service Fire Ladder Truck #10 for the remainder of 2010.

Analysis

This resolution reserves a sum not to exceed $1,097,287 from the 2010 Common Council Contingent Fund to bring back into service Fire Ladder Truck #10 for the remainder of 2010, a Ladder Truck that was decommissioned as a result of the passage of the 2010 Budget.  If other funds become available to partially replace the need to use Common Council Contingent funds, those funds shall be used in lieu of Contingent funds subject to any other actions required by law.

Body

Whereas, The Fire Department experienced significant funding reductions in the 2010 Budget; and

 

Whereas, Budget funding reductions resulted in the decommissioning of Ladder Truck #10, located at the fire station at 3628 North Holton Street; and

 

Whereas, There have been recent fires in the vicinity of this fire station; and

 

Whereas, Had Ladder Truck #10 been in commission there would have been a greater likelihood that there would have been a faster response time to these fires; and

 

Whereas, It is in the best interest of the public’s safety and well being for Ladder Truck #10 to be brought back in active service; now, therefore, be it

 

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that $1,097,287 is reserved from the 2010 Common Council Contingent Fund to bring back into service Fire Ladder Truck #10 for the remainder of 2010; and, be it

 

Further Resolved, That if other funds become available to partially replace the need to use Common Council Contingent funds for the reestablishment of Fire Ladder Truck #10, those funds shall be used in lieu of Contingent funds subject to any other actions required by law; and, be it

 

Further Resolved, That the City Comptroller is authorized to transfer on an as-needed basis up to $1,097,287 of the funds reserved within the Contingent Fund (0001-9990-C001-006300)(2010) to the Fire Department Salaries and Wages Account (0001-3280-R999-006000)(2010).
