Council reviewed $52.6M general-fund capital program and plan to buy 126 vehicles
Summary
Staff presented a $52.6M general-fund capital program (28 projects, $20.1M new cash) and proposed buying 126 vehicles (87% cash-funded), including three $1.5M fire pumpers and multiple service trucks; council asked funding and department breakdowns.
City Manager Atkinson presented the capital program and vehicle acquisitions planned in the proposed budget. He said the general-fund capital program totals $52.6 million with 28 projects (24 cash-funded at $20.0 million) and noted a $6.0 million tax note for a police and fire driving track.
Atkinson said the budget proposes purchasing 126 vehicles with 87% cash funding and tax notes for 17 vehicles; three proposed fire pumpers are about $1.5 million each. "On our vehicles, we are proposing to purchase 126 vehicles. 87% of those are cash," he said. Councilors asked about fund sources and how purchases would be distributed across departments; Atkinson said vehicles tied to enterprise funds (airport, water) would be charged to those funds rather than the general reserves.
