LOG NAME: 1313 FIRE REIMB RES
SUBJECT:
Adopt Resolution Expressing Official Intent to Reimburse Costs of Acquiring Approximately the Amount of
$4,000,000.00 of Fire Equipment and Vehicles (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution expressing official intent to reimburse costs of
acquiring approximately the amount of$4,000,000.00 of fire equipment and vehicles.
DISCUSSION:
The Fire Department (Department) is currently on a Fleet Rotation Plan that calls for approximately $4
million worth of vehicle and equipment purchases per year. This plan allows the Department to rotate out
of the fleet vehicles that are too old or too costly to continue utilizing for public safety. The City has
financed such purchases in the past via issuance of Equipment Notes and Certificates of Obligation.
The City generally issues tax-supported debt after the Certified Appraisal Rolls are available in late
July. Because of the lengthy delay between order time and order fulfillment with fire trucks, the
Department cannot wait until August or September to place the new orders. To accommodate this
concern, Staff recommends adopting the attached resolution stating the City's intent to purchase fire
equipment and vehicles and to reimburse itself through the issuance of debt at a later date.
In accordance with the provisions of the Financial Management Policy Statements, Staff anticipates
presenting tax-supported debt issuances to the City Council for consideration in the upcoming months. If
the debt is not issued within approximately three years to provide reimbursement for these expenses, the
costs will no longer be reimbursable by issuing tax-exempt debt and the funding source will have to be
made whole through other budgetary methods.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that funds are available in the current capital
budget, as appropriated, of the New Equipment Purchases Fund.
