The purchase would be funded through the capital improvement program that was approved by <br /> the participating cities each year. The estimated total cost for the truck is$442,930 but there is some <br /> additional equipment needed that will add some costs. It is anticipated the total cost will not exceed <br /> $475,000. <br /> Walsh noted this has been discussed and planned for a number of years and that the fire department <br /> looked at a number of options prior to making the decision to purchase a new truck. <br /> Seals asked if there are other items the fire department is looking at purchasing in the future. <br /> Reeder noted the fund balance listed in the report is Orono's fund balance and would go towards different <br /> items in addition to Orono's share of the cost of the fire truck. <br /> Chief Van Eyll stated per the contract the fire department has to provide a 15-year capital improvement <br /> program and that each City maintains their own fund balance. <br /> Walsh asked what Orono's portion would be. <br /> Reeder indicated Orono's portion would be approximately 85 percent of that cost. <br /> Page 12 of 13 <br />
