The Seminole County Sheriff’s Office requests a FY 2024/25 Budget Amendment to appropriate the $6,262,000 in anticipated insurance proceeds toward the purchase of a replacement Airbus H125 helicopter. Once appropriated, SCSO will execute a purchase agreement for an Airbus airframe with expected availability of December 2024, and the remaining build-out of the helicopter will take several months, with an estimated completion date of Summer 2025 at the earliest. No additional transfer from general funds is anticipated to complete the purchase of the helicopter.
As of September 30, 2024, the hull of the helicopter has been deemed a total loss and SCSO will receive $4,906,000 in insurance proceeds. The special equipment claim is in progress, with a partial loss of $654,969 determined and paid to SCSO to date and the remaining $701,031 currently under review. The $654,969 in insurance proceeds received will be included as excess fees in the SCSO’s FY 2023/24 Year-end Closeout to be submitted to the BCC by October 30, 2024, in accordance with Section 30.56(6), Florida Statutes.
