Consider a resolution expressing official intent to reimburse costs of acquiring vehicles and equipment. Department: Staff Person: Justification: Finance Cheryl Delaney, Finance Director In accordance with the operating budget, certain equipment is acquired with cash and subsequently financed for three years through a tax-exempt leasing arrangement. Because of the tax-exempt nature of the financing, Internal Revenue Service regulations require the City to state its intensions before the transactions are completed. This type of financing allows the City to acquire new equipment and replace equipment and rolling stock in a timely manner as requirement criteria are met. For the current fiscal year, the equipment to be financed is scheduled at $1,290,000.00. Funding: Cost: $1,290,000.00 Source of funds: Payment of principle in interest for the three year amortization of this obligation is funded from the debt service portion of the property tax. Outside Resources: N/A Background Information: With a three year payback, the impact of any one operating budget is minimized. Additionally, the tax-exempt lease rates offer a very favorable cost of capital to the City. This program permits scheduled replacement of worn equipment on a revolving basis. Public Comment: NA
