Future sale of Public Property Finance Contractual Obligation. Will fund account 325-

BACKGROUND:
This item is placed on your agenda to allow for the expenditure of funds related to the
purchase of a new Pierce Pumper Fire Truck as specified by the Fire Department from
Siddons-Martin Emergency Group through an interlocal participation agreement with the
Local Government Purchasing Cooperative (Buyboard). This resolution allows for
expenditure of funds occurring prior to the bond sale to be reimbursed from the
proceeds of the bonds. This action helps the City save money by allowing a discounted
contract to be approved prior to the bond sale.
The City reasonably expects to reimburse itself for all costs that have been or will be
paid subsequent to the date that is 60 days prior to the date hereof.
Chief Financial Officer recommends approval.
