DATE: June 4, 2012 SUBMITTED BY: Nelson Van Liere, Finance Director BACKGROUND: This proposed ordinance will accomplish a number of Budget adjustments to address previously discussed projects and expenditures that were not included in the original budget. Wind Mitigation Retrofit Grant - As reported in the April 4, 2012 Staff Report submitted by Michael Griffin, Director and Building Official for the City, The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has approved the City of Atlantic Beach for a wind retrofit grant to provide protection for the windows at City Hall. Specifically the grant will provide wind retrofit protection to protect against 130 mile per hour winds for the City Hall building. Staff will procure proposals for storm shutter protection to harden the overall structure of the building. The actual Final Grant agreement amounts are reflected in the Budget Ordinance and are different from the estimate previously reported as indicated below. The estimated FEMA share will be thirty N thousand five hundred _do Tluarrc ($ 37,509) $29,802 and the City estimated local share will be t welve thousand and fi ve hundred d rs ($12 $9,934 for a total of fifty thousand dollars ($50 $39,736 The City Hall has 96 fixed glass pane windows, and seven full- length glass pass- though doors. All of these were installed in 1991. City Hall is slightly 1 /2 mile from the ocean making with a large tree canopy surrounding the facility. If the building envelope is breached, sudden pressurization of the interior can cause major structural damage. The additional protection will allow vital computers to stay on -site during a storm event. Terrain Vehicle (UTV) for the Lifeguards The police department is seeking to purchase a Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV) for the Lifeguards to utilize on the beach. Currently the Lifeguards only have a full size pickup truck to conduct all beach operations. The UTV will supplement current capabilities and will be fully equipped to provide emergency medical services, patient transports as well as regular patrols. It will also provide for a safer and more efficient way of conducting these operations as the vehicle is smaller, lighter, has greater visibility for the driver and operates at a much lower cost than a full size truck.
