DISCUSSION: The Fire Department is currently on a Fleet Rotation Plan that has provided approximately $4 million annually for the replacement of 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. j On March 26, 2013, (M&C G-17840) the City Council approved a reimbursement resolution allowing the City to issue up to $4,000,000.00 in debt at a later date to cover the cost of fire equipment and vehicle purchases for Fiscal Year (FY) 2013. Instead of issuing debt to finance these purchases, Staff j recommended the use of various capital funds to cover the cost of the purchases, thus reducing the impact on the City's debt capacity. The purpose of this action is to recommend the transfer of funds to the New Equipment Purchase Fund to provide the remaining $551,431.00 in funding needed to cover the cost of the FY 2013 vehicle and purchases. This amount will be combined with the $2,142,256.55 in funding currently available in the New Equipment Purchase Fund for a total of$2,693,688.00 to pay for the Logname: 36FIREPURCHASETRANSFER Page 1 of 3 remaining three vehicles. i In addition, on April 1, 2014, (M&C G-18168) the City Council approved a similar reimbursement resolution, which was intended to cover fire equipment and vehicle purchases for FY 2014. In lieu of j issuing debt to finance these purchases, Staff is also recommending the transfer of available funding from various capital funds, including the Capital Projects Reserve Fund, Special Assessments Fund and Specially Funded Capital Projects Fund to the Vehicle Equipment Replacement Fund to cover the cost of the $4,021,622.00 in purchases identified for FY 2014, thus reducing the impact on the City's debt capacity.
