Resolution Amending the 2015 Equipment Fund Budget
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve Resolution Amending
the 2015 Equipment Fund Budget.
Passage of this motion will result in the 2015 Equipment Fund Budget being amended.
Overview
The City Administrator was directed by the Personnel Committee to evaluate car allowances
and the possibility of moving to a mileage reimbursement model or assigning a city vehicle.
Effective January 1, 2016, all employees who were previously receiving a car allowance
(except the police chief) will be submitting mileage for reimbursement. The Personnel
Committee expressed support for purchasing a vehicle which was equipped with emergency
response equipment for the Police Chief.
By purchasing a 2015 model at this time of the year, the acquisition cost is lower than if a
2016 model were purchased. Total cost for the vehicle and equipment is approximately
$26,100. This purchase was not budgeted for 2015.
Primary Issues to Consider (See attached)
What is the funding source? The Equipment Fund is funded primarily by property
taxes, transfers from other funds, and auction/sale proceeds. Equipment Fund
reserves are available to fund this purchase.
