Finance committee authorizes ordering 2026 ambulance now to avoid price increase
Summary
Committee authorized staff to order the next ambulance ahead of a Dec. 1 price increase; the capital improvement plan lists payment in 2026 and staff said final payment would be made next year.
The finance committee authorized staff to proceed with ordering the ambulance included in the city’s capital improvement plan for purchase in 2026. Staff explained that vehicle pricing is scheduled to increase Dec. 1 and recommended ordering as soon as possible to avoid a higher purchase price.
Committee members confirmed that payment would be made in 2026 as budgeted and that the authorization to order does not require immediate payment; staff indicated they would confirm procurement steps and return documentation to finance and council as appropriate.
The authorization was recorded as a committee update and the order will be processed under the capital improvement plan timeline.
