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.

Micah Cawley, Mayor ATTEST: Sonya Claar -Tee, City Clerk • 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. II! /E, �s : 4i, al F i.
