Background:
Several Seminole County Fire Stations have experienced multiple incidents of vandalism and trespassing over the past two years. BAR 25-031 will fund security fencing at Fire Stations 12 and 14 to prevent unauthorized access and mitigate criminal activities, thereby enhancing the overall safety of both employees and the public. The fences will serve as a physical barrier, reducing the risk of trespassing and ensuring that restricted areas remain properly secured. Additional security enhancements, including the installation of cameras and exterior lighting, are being planned for stations 12 and 14 as well as other fire stations as funding is available. These fencing improvements and further measures will significantly improve the security of the stations, protecting valuable assets and providing a safer environment for both personnel and community members. BAR 25-031 transfers budget from Project 00007115 - FIRE FACILITIES SUSTAINMENT and establishes budget in the new project 02505035 - FS SECURITY ENHANCEMENTS, within the Fire Protection Fund.
Requested Action:
Staff requests the Board approve and authorize the Chairman to execute a Resolution implementing Budget Amendment Request (BAR) #25-031 in the Fire Protection Fund to transfer $184,250 of existing budget to establish a fire station security enhancements project.
