Attachment 3 8 <br /> i.. : CARRB ORO FIRE-RESCUE <br /> DEPARTMENT <br /> CAR"ORO, NORTH CAROLINA <br /> May 17,2013 <br /> To: Paul Laughton,Orange County Finance Department <br /> From::-:Barbara-Steckler; South.Orange-Fire-District Board Member <br /> Re; Use of South Orange Fire District Fund Balance <br /> The South Orange Fire District Board would like to respectfully request the use part of the fund <br /> balance in the South Orange Fire District budget. We understand that there is approximately <br /> $60,000 currently in the fund balance. The Carrboro Fire-Rescue Department recently received <br /> a grant from FEMA to install a fire sprinkler system in the Headquarters Fire Station located at <br /> 301 Nest Main Street,-Carrboro. This FEMA grant was a 90110 agreement,where FEMA would <br /> pay 901/o of the engineering, installation,materials and testing costs. Ten percent must be <br /> provided-by the department. <br /> The total cost of the sprinkler system was $65,072.48. The board is requesting permission to use <br /> $6,507 from the fund balance as our 10%share as required by FEMA. To the best of our <br /> knowledge this is the first time in over a decade that a request has been made to tap into the <br /> South Orange Fire District fund balance. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> .Barbara Steckler <br /> 301 West Main Street,Carrboro,North Carolina27510 Phone(919)918-7347 Fax(919)932-5359 <br /> An Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
