ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION 846 8 Authorizing Purchase of Vehicles Leased for CETA Work
Program and Appropriating Necessary Funds
SUBMITTED BY: City Manager ~'
~_~
ITEM EXPLANATION
Leases on CETA vehicles expire January 10, 1977. When these leases were last extended for
a period of six months, an option to purchase was a condition of that extension. Since
continuation of the CETA program is now assured for at least another year, these vehicles
will be needed. The two lessors, Phd Corporation (lessor of eight vehicles) and Courtesy
Chevrolet (lessor of one vehicle) were contacted regarding monthly rental rates for a six
or twelve month period, and the purchase price of the vehicles if they were purchased
outright. The rental rates and outright purchase prices are shown on Exhibit A.
Leasing of the vehicles will cost the City $14,500.80, compared to $32,637.40 for purchase.
The vehicles have been maintained by City forces since April 1975, and all the vehicles
were new except for the 1973 Ford dump truck. Considering the proposed monthly rental
rates, the continued need for the vehicles even if and when the CETA program concludes,
the purchase price of the vehicles versus the annual rental cost, and the present condition
of the vehicles, it is staff's opinion that the vehicles should be purchased.
lde have been advised that the regulations now being developed extending the emergency jobs
program will permit the purchase of equipment and vehicles under the program. While it
is necessary to appropriate funds from other accounts on an interim basis, when the final
contract negotiations are completed for the CETA program, CETA funds may be transferred in
order to cover the entire purchase.
