Equipment Replacement <br />The Improvement and Equipment Outlay Fund is funded at a level of $64,900 per year to <br />provide for the planned replacement of all capital equipment in General Fund departments other <br />than Police. A list of the equipment to be purchased through this fund in 1996 is attached (page <br />11-12). The total amount to be expended is $67,380. This amount is relatively high due to the <br />replacement of two trucks in the Public Works and Parks area. Both ot these trucks will have <br />been driven approximately 100,000 miles at the time ot their replacement. <br />The police department equipment replacement proposal is similar to prior years in that it <br />includes the replacement of two marked squads along with switch-over costs and related <br />equipment. An additional item for 1996 is the replacement of a third squad-the Investigator <br />squad. Although the Investigator squad dees not have high mileage it is showing signs of <br />requiring significant expenditures for maintenance and repairs. The proposal is to replace the <br />Investigator's squad through the purchase of a rental vehicle through Avis or similar. <br />The proposed capital items in the Enterprise Funds are shown on page 14. The major item in <br />the Sewer Fund is the replacement of lift station n^6 at a cost ot $65,000. Lift station ^6 is the <br />third of four of the old stvle lift stations that are being replaced over a four-to-five year peritxl. <br />Capital Projects <br />The preliminary budget overview indicated several capital projects planned for 1996 including <br />the Old Crystal Bay Road bike trail and County 6. Based on the funding designated in the PIR <br />fund for stormwater drainage projects, it is recommended that $20,000 be budgeted from the PIR <br />fund toward stormwater drainage improvements for 1996.
