SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
As part of the 2013 Budget process, Council received a Strategic Initiative proposal for the
acquisition and financing of one Fire Apparatus. The proposed financing identified was the
Washington State Local Option Capital Asset Lending (LOCAL) program. Note: The City
used this program to purchase two apparatus in 2011. The cost of the apparatus is
estimated to be about $375,000 - -the ordinance includes an amount "not to exceed"
$400,000. An estimate of annual debt service of $40,000 is included in the Fire Department
2013 budget.
This Ordinance will authorize and direct staff to proceed with the acquisition of the fire
apparatus as proposed and to enter into the suggested financing agreement with the Office
of the State Treasurer. The reimbursement resolution will authorize the City to reimburse the
fund used to purchase the fire apparatus including expenditures made prior to the financing
completion with the financing proceeds.
The Ordinance and the Reimbursement Resolution and other related documentation is in
the format directed by the Office of the State Treasurer as prescribed by State Legal
Counsel and may appear somewhat different than the format traditionally presented to
Council.
Documents attached include: Copy of the 2013 Strategic Initiative presented to Council in

FIRE
2013 STRATEGIC INITIATIVE
PURCHASE FIRE APPARATUS
BUDGETED
PROPOSAL
A comprehensive plan for fire apparatus replacement has been developed and was presented to
the Council Public Safety Committee in 2011. In 2011, 2 Fire apparatus were replaced in
response to the plan and the condition of the rig, leaving 2 apparatus that have been in service
for approximately 20 years. Fire command staff are proposing that 1 of these older vehicles be
replaced. As capital reserves /replacement funding is not available for an outright purchase, the
City can again use the Washington State Local Option Capital Asset Lending (LOCAL)
lease /purchase program to take advantage of lower interest rates because of economies of scale
the state program can generate.
IMPACTS
1. Fiscal Impact - Apparatus is estimated to cost about $375,000: $40,000 annual debt
service over a 10 -year term.
2. Proposed Funding Source - 10 -year lease /purchase with annual payments funded from
41110 General Fund
3. Public Impact - Implementation and maintenance of a realistic, agency - specific fire
apparatus replacement plan:
➢ Enhances reliability /reduces out -of- service time
➢ Takes advantage of enhancements in passenger /user safety features
➢ Provides economy in the reduction of maintenance costs for aging fire apparatus
4. Personnel Impact - The new engine will provide safety and reliability to allow firefighters
to provide all -risk emergency services to the citizens of Yakima. Preventative maintenance
to all fire department apparatus will be enhanced by the new engine as an old maintenance -
intensive engine is replaced.
5. Required Changes in City Regulations or Policies - None.
6. Legal Constraints, if applicable - Ordinance to enter into a debt transaction.
7. Viable Alternatives - None.
