RESOLUTION AMENDING THE 1983 GENERAL FUND BUDGET AND AUTHORIZING
THE TRA14SFER OF FUNDS FROM THE COUNCIL CONTINGENCY ACCOUNT TO
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT EQUIPMENT ACCOUNT
WHEREAS, the dry chemical fire extinguishers carried in the City's
squad cars are primarily used for the purpose of containing vehicle fires; and
WHEREAS, the experience of the police department has been that the
dry chemical extinguishers can cause damage to vehicles distinct from the
damage from the fire; and
WHEREAS, the police department has determined that Helon fire
extinguishers would better meet the needs of the police department for portable
fire extinguishers; and
WHEREAS, the estimated cost of replacing the dry chemical fire
extinguishers is $800; and
WHEREAS, Section 7.08 of the City Charter of the City of Brooklyn Center
does provide that the City Council may, by majority vote of it's members, transfer
unencumbered appropriation balances from one office, department, or agency to
another within the same fund.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of
Brooklyn Center to amend the 1983 General Fund Budget by transferring $800 from
the Council Contingency Account to the Police Department Other Equipment Account
for the purchase of seven Helon fire extinguishers.
