Resolution Regarding Reimbursement of Certain Costs Relating to Acquisition of Vehicles and Equipment for Fleet Replacement Program
body
BRIEF OVERVIEW
Expenses associated with the County’s Fleet Replacement Program have been paid from the Fleet Replacement Fund. From time to time this program will be financed through tax-exempt debt. A recommendation for the associated debt will be made to the Board soon. This reimbursement resolution allows for the County to reimburse the Fleet Replacement Fund, or General Fund, for expenses incurred before issuance of said debt and needs to be in place before requesting use of that debt. The US Treasury established this method to allow governments to reimburse themselves for costs associated with a replacement before issuance of tax-exempt debt. The amount of tax-exempt debt is not expected to exceed $6,000,000.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
A matter of policy.
LEGAL NOTE
The Board is authorized to act on this matter pursuant to Chapters 125 and 129, Florida Statues.
