EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve and authorize the acceptance of a Volunteer Fire Assistance
Grant Award in the amount of $2,100 to purchase Class A Foam for the Ochopee Fire
Control District(County Match $1,050)
OBJECTIVE: Obtain approval to accept the Volunteer Fire Assistance Grant Award to
purchase Class A Foam for the Ochopee fire Control District.
CONSIDERATIONS: On February 10, 2015 the Board of County commissioners approved the
submittal of the Volunteer Fire Assistance 50/50 Grant Application to the Florida Division of
Forestry. The full amount of the Grant Application was awarded in the amount of $2,100.
Ochopee Fire Control District has sufficient funding in the operating budget to cover the required
share in the amount of$1,050 and, therefore recommends accepting the award. The purchase of
the Class A Foam will increase suppression power by potentially boosting the resources of
Ochopee Fire Control District while enhancing fire protection of life and property making the
acceptance of this grant extremely beneficial.
FISCAL IMPACT: The total cost of the Class A Foam is $2,100. As this is a 50/50 matching
grant split between the Division of Forestry and Ochopee Fire Control district; the Division of
Forestry will provide 50% of the costs ($1,050). The District's cost share of 50% in the amount
of $1,050 will be provided from Ochopee Fire Control District Fund 146. The budget
amendments will be needed to recognize grant funds in Fund 713, County Manager Grants
and transfer matching funds from Fund 146 to Fund 714, County Manager Match in Project
33415-01.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management impact associated
with this Executive Summary.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: A formal agreement is not required for acceptance of this
grant. An award letter (transmitted on a Fax Cover Page) containing the terms of the grant is
back-up to this item. This item is approved for form and legality and requires a majority vote for
Board approval. -JAB
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approves and authorizes the
acceptance of the Volunteer Fire Assistance Grant Award for the purchase of Class A Foam and
the necessary budget amendments.
