ITEM:
Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding a budget transfer to pay Hughes Fire Equipment for a partially assembled new 2023 Pierce Velocity Platform Ladder Truck. (Angel Ramirez, Fire Chief)
SUMMARY:
With the growth that we have seen these past years and in the coming years, we need to be prepared and have a bigger fire truck to make sure we maintain the same services to our residents. Our current ladder truck is only capable of extending to 65 feet. Some of the buildings that are coming need a 100-foot ladder which is what we bought through Hughes Fire Equipment.
The Fire Department created a committee to make sure we obtained the best truck, and Pierce was the truck that we landed on and ordered. Pierce has been in the building of fire trucks for over 125 years, with a great reputation around the industry.
The truck is nearing completion after almost two (2) years in production. We need to send a payment for $620,000 to Hughes Fire for the work that has been completed up to now to continue with the build and have the time frame that was promised for delivery. A budget transfer is needed to be able to make the payment.

FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT (IF THIS IS A BUDGET TRANSFER, YOU MUST ATTACH THE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT FORM):
We budgeted to pay for this item in FY 2022-23 from a combination of ARPA funds and Impact Fees. In order to maximize funding capacity next year we are asking council to utilize for this purchase General Fund capacity for projects that were not completed this year(Cesar Chavez ROW purchase, East San Luis Park and City Hall Expansion, Design East POlice Station), instead of utilizing ARPA funds. For this reason, we are asking council approval to do a budget transfer as follows:
Transfer from:
200-210-90010 CIP- Cesar Chavez BLVD ROW Acquisition $ 120,000
806-144-90015 CIP -East San Luis Community Park $ 95,000
100-999-90015 CIP- City Hall Expansion $ 80,000
806-181-90015 CIP - Design Police Station $100,000
Transfer to :
100-999-90000 Equipment $395,000
Available Budget after transfer:
806-182-90000 Impact fees $225,000
100-999-90000 Equipment $395,000
TOTAL $620,000
Upon completion of this budget transfer we will have budget available to complete the $620,000 Construction in progress payment.
