<br /> 5. The Orange Grove Volunteer Fire Department has requested $75,000 to be drawn from
<br /> the district's available, unassigned fund balance. The district will use these funds, along
<br /> with $25,000 of the district's own reserve funds for vehicle replacement, to purchase an
<br /> administration/incident command vehicle. The vehicle will allow for the district to meet the
<br /> demands of its increasing call volume and service demands. With this appropriation,
<br /> approximately $75,000 remains in the district's unassigned fund balance. This amendment
<br /> increases the appropriation of Fund Balance in the Fire District Fund, outside the General
<br /> Fund. (See Attachment 2.)
<br /> 6. The Chapel Hill Fire Department has requested $12,000 to be drawn from the district's
<br /> available, unassigned fund balance. These funds, along with other funds from the Town of
<br /> Chapel Hill, will be used to outfit two new fire engines arriving this summer. With this
<br /> appropriation, approximately $11,000 remains in the district's unassigned fund balance.
<br /> This amendment increases the appropriation of Fund Balance in the Fire District Fund,
<br /> outside the General Fund. (See Attachment 3.)

<br /> 7. One of the County ambulances was totaled in a motor vehicle accident in May 2022. The
<br /> County's insurance policy will provide $240,458 to purchase a replacement vehicle. Some
<br /> equipment, to include the LifePak heart monitor, stretcher, and stretcher power load, also
<br /> sustained damages during the incident and are unable to be repaired and recertified by the
<br /> vendor. These assets will need to be replaced as part of the upfit process for the new
<br /> ambulance. In order to upfit the new ambulance, $159,951 from the County Capital
<br /> Reserve Fund will be transferred to the County Capital Fund. This amends the County
<br /> Capital Fund by $400,409, and amends the following Capital Ordinance:
