body
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The need for two replacement fire engines was identified as part of the Fiscal 2026 Budget process. Due to budget constraints, only one fire engine was approved for purchase. The rising cost of fire apparatus has left the City unable to maintain adequate vehicle replacement funds.
As part of the State Budget Act of 2026, Assemblymember Heath Flora, was able to secure a $2,000,000 budget allocation from the State to be used for the purchase of a fire engine. This funding will allow the Fire Department to purchase the second fire engine that was not approved in the City of Lodi’s Fiscal Year 2026 Budget.
Staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to approve the Legislative Pass Through Allocation LI2026-018 in the amount of $2,000,000 for the purchase of fire engines and execute all necessary documents to accept funds and appropriate $2,000,000.
Fire Department Vehicle Replacement (Revenue) 64400000.55024 $2,000,000
Fire Department Vehicle Replacement (Expense) 64499100.77040 $2,000,000
FISCAL IMPACT:
There will be no impact to the General Fund. The $2,000,000 allocation will cover the entire cost of the fire engine and upfitting.
FUNDING AVAILABLE:
The $2,000,000 is being granted to the City of Lodi Fire Department as part of the FY 2026 State Budget
