The time delay between locating an available truck and the <br /> time to place the purchase on the City Council agenda for authorization will likely result in most <br /> vehicles being sold before staff can close on the vehicle purchase. <br /> If the City Council wishes to purchase a vehicle with CARES Act funding, staff is requesting that <br /> the Council authorize staff to purchase a new F 150 pickup truck up to a maximum amount of <br /> $39,000. Staff would locate a base model pickup truck below the maximum authorized amount <br /> and proceed with the purchase. <br /> Budget Impact <br /> Federal CARES Act funding was allocated to the City of Arden Hills in the amount of$745,040. <br /> The funds are now available and the City is required to expend all of its funds by November 15, <br /> 2020. The requested truck purchase up to the maximum amount of $39,000 is proposed to be <br /> funded from the City's CARES Act funds. <br /> Attachments <br /> Attachment A: Public Works Licensed Vehicle Fleet <br /> Attachment B: Vehicle Quote from Midway Ford <br /> Attachment C: Vehicle Quote from Boyer Ford <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br />
