13. REPORT ITEMS
13.1 REPORT - AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE AND FINANCE A
REPLACEMENT TRACTOR DRAWN AERIAL LADDER TRUCK
BACKGROUND: The City’s Fire Department has identified a need for a
new fire truck to replace a 27 year old existing Tractor Drawn Aerial
(TDA) ladder truck. The current TDA ladder truck has outlived its
standard useful life of 15 years. In addition, the current TDA ladder truck
has a two stroke diesel engine which is considered a gross polluter by
the United States Environmental Protection Agency. In order to maintain
and operate the current ladder truck, the department is incurring large
repair costs and down time which are causing operational issues for the
department.
The replacement ladder truck has a cost estimated at $1.1 million. Due to
financial constraints on making the payment upfront, the cost is
anticipated to be financed over a 7-year term. In late 2014, the City
received a cost proposal from Pierce Manufacturing Co. indicating a price
of $1,022,636.12 for the new ladder truck. The City’s financial advisor,
Public Financial Management (“PFM”), contacted several banks for
proposals for a financing of this size. The most favorable proposal was
submitted by Wells Fargo at a proposed borrowing rate of 1.78%.

BACKGROUND: The City is required to submit an annual Action Plan to
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) by May
15th of each year for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds it will

will receive an allocation of $1,326,536 in CDBG funds, plus an
estimated $22,000 in program income for a total of $1,348,536; and an
allocation of $485,562 in HOME funds, plus an estimated $33,300 in
program income for a total of $518,862. The funding strategy for Fiscal
Year 2015/2016 is to allocate 100% of the HOME funds and 85% of the
CDBG funds for affordable housing purposes, and to use the remaining
15% (by regulation) of CDBG funds for the Public Services Program to
support homeless service providers and a federally mandated Fair
