AMEND THE 2022 BUDGET TO APPROPRIATE $2,300,000 OF FUND BALANCE FROM GOVERNMENTAL
EQUIPMENT FUND 431 AND AWARD RELATED VEHICLE PURCHASE AGREEMENT(S)
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights adopted an initial 2022 budget on December 19,
2021, as required by the City charter and Minnesota statue, including a budget for the City's Governmental
Equipment Fund 431; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights subsequently increased that initial 2022 budget for
Governmental Equipment Fund 431 by Resolution 2022-36 on March 14, 2022, to provide for certain
additional equipment detailed in the supporting documentation to Resolution 2022-36; and
WHEREAS, the 2022 budget for Governmental Equipment Fund 431, as amended by Resolution 2022-36, does
not fund any other equipment purchases beyond those proposed through March 14, 2022; and
WHEREAS, the replacement of two certain emergency fire vehicles was initially planned and proposed by City
staff for funding in the City of Columbia Heights' 2023 budget; and
WHEREAS, City staff have identified a supplier for these two vehicles in accordance with the City's purchasing
policy; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights has determined that it is prudent to award the
purchase agreement(s) for these two emergency fire vehicles in October 2022, both to avoid significant known
price increases after October 2022, and to address the supply -chain disruptions that have recently doubled
the vehicle build period to approximately two years;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the 2022 City of Columbia Heights' budget is amended to appropriate
$2,300,000 from the fund balance of Government Equipment Fund 431, and the city manager is authorized to
enter into the related vehicle purchase agreement(s) with MacQueen Emergency Group under a cooperative
purchasing contract with the Houston -Galveston Area Council (HGAC.)
