Agenda Text
The Board is requested to approve Budget Ordinance Amendment No. 19BCC00050 appropriating $156 of Parkwood Fire Tax District Fund fund balance and $299,844 of Durham County Fire and Rescue Service District Fund fund balance and transferring these funds ($300,000) to the General Fund to reimburse the General Fund for expenditures related to replacing the driveways at two former Parkwood Fire Stations (Stations 81 & 83). The General Fund fund balance appropriation will be decreased by $300,000 as expenditures will be supported by the transferred funds.
As part of the consolidation of Durham County Fire and Rescue (DCFR) with the City of Durham there was an agreement that the aprons (driveways) at the two former Parkwood Stations would be replaced by the County. This was budgeted in FY2017-18; however, the work was not completed during that fiscal year. The work is in process now and this amendment provides Fire District funds to reimburse the General Fund for expenditures related to this project.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: Goal 5 Efficient Government. While directly impacting our ability to provide for a Safe Community (Goal 3), this spending measure ensures the use of Fire District funds for directly related expenditures.
