The Fire Department has purchased or has on order $32,589.54 of COVID-19 related products from March 1st through May 19th.  The majority of this expense has been for personal protective equipment (PPE) such as N95 masks, disposable gloves, eye protection,  disposable gowns and disposable coveralls used by Paramedics on every ambulance response. The need for disposable PPE is anticipated to continue throughout the year, with an expected cost of $54,000 in addition to other cleaning and medical supplies required to operate under a pandemic environment. 

 

 COVID-19 expenses are currently unfunded in the Fire Department’s 2020 budget and a request has been made for $100,000 to be transferred from the Village’s General Fund contingency account to various Fire Department accounts.
