REVIEWED:

To:                  The Honorable Mayor and Board of Commissioners

From:              Jackie Huffman / Chief Cleveland Spruill

Subject:          Approve a Budget Amendment funding police cars


The original FY 2018 operating budget was adopted planning to lease 11 new police cars.  The Police Department pursued their broker and obtained a proposal to lease the cars at 3.32% which would incur a total of $9,059 interest in FYs 2018 - 2020. 

 

This item would approve adding $177,835 to the Police department budget to purchase the vehicles outright, eliminating the lease financing and saving $9,059 interest.  This is accomplished by allocating $177,835 from general fund balance. 


ACTION RECOMMENDED: 

Approve budget amendment.

 
 
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:

Increase Police budget by $177,835 using General Fund Balance.
