This assignment is intended to incorporate concepts presented during the semester into one conceptual paper by developing a project that will need to be funded. The project should be tailored to a specific financial need in either fire, EMS, or emergency management according to your specialization. The paper should provide enough detail that the reader understands your thoughts and/or intentions for the project. Present your ideas such that you are determining what impact the project will have on your organization or the community. In other words, critically think about your project as if you were the chief of the department or a CEO and you are seeking approval of the project from the Board of Directors of your organization or your county administrators.
Content should include concepts discussed throughout the course, with some leeway for the project. For example: you are purchasing a new vehicle because the county is growing by X%. Your paper should include a discussion on; the principles you will use to finance the purchase, budgeting, the economic affect, details of the purchasing process, how you will analyze the ROI or effect it will have on the community, risk of financing, and any tracking of costs. Since you would not be billing for the services, then this would obviously be unnecessary, however, you could discuss the effect of green purchasing.
