BACKGROUND:
Background
This authorization is for the City Manager to reallocate all funds for the purchase of the Transport Unit utilizing CDBG-CARES finds. This Transport Unit is an ambulance that will be located at Fire Station 61 utilizing the remaining $318,941.76 in CDBG-CARES funds. The funds were originally allocated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to assist local governments in responding to public health and safety needs related to COVID-19.
The purchase of the ambulance meets the intent of the CDBG-CARES program by improving emergency medical response and supporting public health and safety services for the community. The vehicle will primarily serve low and moderate income (LMI) areas within the City, consistent with HUD’s national objectives for the CDBG-CARES program.
This is the reallocation of CDBG CARES funds towards the acquisition of the Transport Unit that was authorized by the City Commission on October 21, 2024, under item 8-A. The ambulance has already been ordered by purchase order 250348-00 and has not been delivered. The funds will be reallocated as of September 30, 2025.
The ambulance will be assigned to Station 61 and placed into active service once delivery and inspections are complete. This action authorizes the City Manager to execute all related documents required to complete the purchase.
