The Council had previously received a memo from the Fire Chief concerning ordering
another pumper truck. The Clerk said this item was reviewed during the budget reviews
and no money is available from the general fund for it. The reason for discussing it
now is it takes about two years to receive the truck after it has been ordered. He also
said he does not believe money would be available from the general fund two years from
now either to pay for the truck. Alternate sources of funds would be a bond issue or
the City could issue equipment certificates. If equipment certificates were issued now
for the truck, those funds could be invested and the interest earned would partially
relieve some of the debt service on the certificates. The Council will consider the
financing alternatives at a future meeting, but requested the staff to prepare specifi-
cations for the truck.
MOTION: of Branning, seconded by Garrison, to adjourn. Ayes - 4 - Nays - 0.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:25 o'clock p.m.
