Adopt list of approved firms for leasing city equipment and vehicles
Resolution 106-20
In Plain English
The city needs a pre-approved list of financing companies to lease expensive equipment like fire trucks and computers instead of buying them outright. This resolution creates that official list of authorized lenders. If approved, departments can lease equipment through these firms without seeking separate council approval for each purchase.
