Finance panel recommends $1 million in free cash to start $4.3 million city vehicle purchase; $3.3 million bond planned for June
Summary
The Springfield City Finance Subcommittee voted to recommend using $1 million in free cash now so staff can order vehicles ahead of a $3.3 million bond authorization expected in June to finish a planned $4.3 million fleet purchase covering 37 vehicles across seven departments.
The Springfield City Finance Subcommittee recommended that the full City Council approve using $1 million in free cash to begin purchasing city vehicles, with a separate bond authorization for about $3.3 million to be presented in June.
The recommendation came after Chris Signoli, a budget staff member, told the committee the full vehicle request for fiscal 2025 totals about $4.3 million and "ends up being 37 vehicles for 7 different departments." Signoli said the $1 million would allow the city to order smaller vehicles now while the city pursues the larger bond later this month.
