Background/Discussion
In the 2006 budget the engineering department had intended to purchase a vehicle for the engineering
tech position. The budgeted amount was $20,000 and due to the inability to fill the position, the vehicle
was not purchased in 2006. The funds were transferred out to the capital outlay reserve fund and
designated for this vehicle once the position became filled.
The vehicle proposed to be purchase is a two wheel drive Dodge Nitro. The purchase will be made off
of the State contract from Elk River Ford.
Financial Impact
Funds have been designated in the capital outlay reserve fund in the amount of $20,000 for the purchase
of a vehicle for the engineering department. No general fund budget impact.
