COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Accept a Donation for Purchase of
Exercise Equipment, Sparky Costume, and Extractor to Wash Turnouts from the Lodi Fire
Foundation in the Amount of $17,000
MEETING DATE: June 7, 2023
PREPARED BY: Fire Chief
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to accept a donation for
purchase of exercise equipment, Sparky costume, and extractor to wash
turnouts from the Lodi Fire Foundation in the amount of $17,000.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Lodi Fire Foundation's mission is to assist with supporting the
unfunded needs of the Lodi Fire Department. Funding requests are
approved at the department level to ensure the need is there and then presented to City Council to approve the
acceptance of the donation.
The $17,000 being donated will be funding a piece of exercise equipment that will be placed at Station 4, a new
Sparky Costume to be used as part of fire prevention, and an extractor used to wash turnouts that will be located
at Station 4.
The workout equipment to be purchased for Station 4 includes a squat rack with safety features, flat bench, dip
bar, and other attachments that improve shoulder strength and stability. This equipment adds to the ability and
opportunity for personnel to stay physically fit along with enhancing mental wellness.
The Sparky costume can be used at Public Education events and at the Lodi Fire Foundation's annual Christmas
Festival. The current costume has become old and worn and vision is impaired when it is being worn.
The Lodi Fire Department and Lodi Fire Foundation place an emphasis on cancer mitigation strategies. It is
a goal to have extractors at each station. An extractor is a specialized piece of equipment that removes cancer
causing particulates and carcinogens from personal protective equipment/gear. The Lodi Fire Foundation has
also agreed to move forward and provide funds for the two additional extractors needed once it has been
determined that the department is pleased with the performance of this first one ordered.
FISCAL IMPACT: There will not be a fiscal impact as this purchase is being funded by a donation through the
Lodi Fire Foundation.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: 140.23300
