Council approves master equipment lease, tables Ford Transit ambulance lease to seek lower rate
Summary
The council approved a master equipment lease-purchase agreement and tabled a proposed lease for a 2026 Ford Transit ambulance with Country Roads Leasing for at least 30 days to try to secure a lower interest rate. The ambulance decision was moved and tabled unanimously.
The Nutter Fort Town Council voted April 22 to enter into a Master Equipment Lease-Purchase Agreement (item #2025-03) after a motion by Councilor Charlene Louk and second by Karen Phillips; the motion passed unanimously.
Separately, a proposed lease-purchase agreement for a 2026 Ford Transit ambulance with Country Roads Leasing was presented but tabled for at least 30 days by unanimous vote, with council noting hope for a lower interest rate before committing. The lease was tabled on a motion by Charlene Louk with a second by Karen Phillips.
The minutes indicate the council prefers to avoid higher financing costs, but they do not record competing bids, interest-rate figures, or a timeline for re-evaluation beyond the 30-day minimum. The master lease-purchase was approved; the ambulance lease remains pending further review.
