The current process creates a system in which the three communities <br />often need to issue debt to fund needed equipment and funding levels can vary greatly based <br />upon the type and amount, making for a difficult process for the three communities to budget on <br />a yearly basis. <br />In 2016, the SBMFD created a Capital replacement plan, forecasting departmental needs <br />for approximately 20 years. The replacement schedule is based on NFPA requirements, industry <br />best practices, administrative expectations, operational requirements, department needs and other <br />regulatory requirements. In 2017, working with the City Administrators and Finance Directors, <br />we refined the 20 year plan using the following assumptions: <br />3% annual increase in annual cost for equipment <br />Current equipment cost (2017) <br />o Engine - $500,000 <br />o Mini -Pumper - $300,000 <br />o Quint - $950,000 - $1,000,050 <br />o Rescue - $200,000 <br />o Staff Vehicle - $60,000 <br />o SCBA - $8000 each (100 total) <br />o New Apparatus Equipment <br />• Quint - $85,000 <br />• Engine/Mini-Pumper - $60,000 <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />
