Vision Principle: Thriving Neighborhoods and a Sense of Community. Background: . On August 24, 2010, the Council approved an ordinance appropriating $4,000,000 in the FY 2010-2011 City Garage Fund from its Fund Balance to provide funds for the purchase of vehicles and declaring the intent of the City to reimburse itself from the proceeds of obligations of the City (see attached). The ordinance outlines Council's tacit approval for FY10-11 vehicle and equipment purchases of up to $6.3 million. . On January 11, 2011, the Council approved an ordinance authorizing $28,000,000 in equipment and vehicle Lease Obligations of the City under a new five- year Master Lease Agreement (see attached). . The City finalized the Master Lease Agreement on February 10, 2011 and the first year's proceeds are available to fund FY10-11 vehicle and equipment purchase needs. Discussion: . In a continuing effort to replace obsolete public safety vehicles, and other essential operational equipment of the City, a rolling five-year Fleet Replacement Plan has been developed. The referenced Master Lease instrument serves as the funding source for the five-year plan. . $4,000,000 of the appropriation will be used to refund the City Garage fund balance and $2,200,000 will be used to purchase vehicles and equipment as a part of the Fleet Replacement Plan. Financial impact: . The Master Lease is an instrument of funding that obligates the City to appropriate annual lease payments in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement. This ordinance is a housekeeping measure required to transform Council's tacit approval to explicit appropriation of $6,200,000. Recommended Action: . Adoption of the ordinance. Vision Principle: Thriving Neighborhoods and a Sense of Community.
