U S Treasury regulations and guidelines require that a governmental entity declare its intent to use debt
financing in order to subsequently reimburse itself from the proceeds of that borrowing In accordance
with this requirement, the City must adopt a resolution declaring its intent to reimburse itself from the
proceeds of the issuance of debt for the fire apparatus expenditures incurred prior to the financing
On June 15 2010 the City Council approved M&C G-16959 stating the City's intent to reimburse itself for
fire apparatus expenditures from the sale of bonds, in accordance with Internal Revenue Service
requirements for the issuance of debt.
M/WBE A waiver of the goal for M/WBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the Purchasing
Division and approved by the M/WBE Office because the purchase of goods is from sources where
subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible
FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation
and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance funds will be available in the current capital budget,
as appropriated of the New Equipment Purchases Fund Expenditures incurred for the purchase of fire
apparatus will be reimbursed from the issuance of debt.
