South Bend Fire Department <br />701 W. Sample St. <br />South Bend, Ind. 46625 <br />Timothy J. Brassell <br />Fire Chief <br />CITY of SOUTH BEND <br />ROGER O. PARENT, Mayor <br />COUNTY -CITY BUILDING SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 <br />January 23, 1980 <br />South Bend Common Council <br />4th Floor <br />County -City Building <br />South Bend, Ind. 46601 <br />Honorable Council Members: <br />This request for fund transfer is necessary in order to pay for the <br />purchase of two radios and two defibrillator -heart monitors to be <br />used by our Paramedic ambulances. <br />The total cost of this equipment is $22,000.00. If the Department was <br />required to pay the entire sum from our "Other Equipment" budget, <br />this account would be depleted from $24,495.00 to $2,495.00 not <br />considering money already spent. <br />The reason the telemetry radios were not originally budgeted was <br />that the Department was unaware of federally mandated changes in <br />the licensing of these radios prior to the preparation of the 1980 <br />budget. <br />The new Monitor Defibrillators are replacements for units which <br />are three years old or older,and additionally have several improved <br />features. <br />As always, I am available at your convenience to answer any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />i <br />Timothy J' BrasseII <br />Fire Chief <br />South Bend Fire Department <br />TJB /vm <br />
