Burch, Jr. Fire and Rescue Chief APPROVED BY: Elmer C. Hodge, Jr. County Administrator COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: We are pleased to accept the generous donation made by the estate of Marie Hott. It was her desire to donate to an organization that would assist the Fort Lewis Community, and she felt that contributing to the Fire and Rescue Department would be an excellent way to achieve this goal. We are also pleased to recognize a grant from the State of Virginia totaling $116,000 to be used toward the purchase of the vehicle for the Fort Lewis Station. I recommend approval of the appropriation request. SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: Roanoke County Fire and Rescue requests that the Board of Supervisors accept and appropriate the following grant and estate settlement for the purchase of a replacement vehicle for the Fort Lewis Station: The Virginia Office of Emergency Medical Services awarded the Fire and Rescue Department Grant #WVC03/06-06 totaling $232,000 which requires a 50% match. The new squad is to replace an existing vehicle serving Roanoke County at the Fort Lewis station. Fort Lewis Volunteer Fire Department, Roanoke County, and Roanoke County Fire and Rescue will share in the funding of the required match. FISCAL IMPACT: The estate of Marie Hott bequeathed funds in the amount of $52,542.36 to Roanoke County Fire and Rescue to benefit the Fort Lewis area. Roanoke County Fire and Rescue will use this amount as a portion of the match for the above grant. The Fort Lewis Volunteer Fire Department will supply partial funding totaling $49,337.46 also from the estate settlement of Marie Hott. The remaining $14,120.18 required match will come from both the Fort Lewis Volunteer Fire Department through the sale of Squad 9 and the Fire and Rescue Department operating budget. Additional funds received from this sale are to be appropriated to this account and will be matched by the Fire and Rescue Department operating budget for the vehicle purchase. ALTERNATIVES: The Department will not be able to purchase the new squad without the funds from the State (Grant # WVC03/06-06) and the funds from the estate settlement of Marie Hott.
