MEMORANDUM
To: Allison Williams, City Manager
From: Cindy Jensen, Finance Director
Subject: 2021 2nd Quarter Budget Revenue and Expenditure Report
I am pleased to submit the City of Moses Lake’s 2021 second quarter actual results compared to
budgeted revenue and expenditure report for all city funds. Beginning Fund Balances shown are
subject to final adjustments made as a result of the year-end closing process, which will not be
officially concluded until the State Auditor’s work is completed this fall.
Overall, we are seeing recovery from the economic slowdown caused by the “Stay Home, Stay
Safe” response to COVID-19-- we weathered this storm in much better financial condition than
many other local governments. The City budget is performing as expected in many areas
through the second quarter of 2021. At the end of the second quarter 2021, we are seeing typical
variances tied to position vacancies and the timing of annual dues/assessments. Because several
of the principal payments on debt service are due in the 3rd quarter, we completed the debt
service transfers in the 2nd quarter. Some of the operational activity that was slower in the first
quarter because of the winter months have picked up in the summer, although the Parks and
Recreation programs still had some capacity limits because of the COVID rules. We are
experiencing growth in sales tax and building related permits and fees because of major
construction projects in the city limits. Capital projects are still underspent because of long lead-
in times that are typical of this activity. As a whole, we are not anticipating distress in our 2021
budget.
This report is summarized by type of fund, and reported by functional type, and includes the
following sections:

General Fund Revenue Analysis
Property Tax – The first half of the Property Tax assessment is due to the Grant County
Treasurer by April 30, and the second half is due October 31. The budget was set based on
assumptions of new construction and collection rates, and then discounted for collection
delinquencies. Even though the levy for 2021 was set at $7.721 million, we only budgeted
$7.664 million. It should be noted that the budget does not include the delinquent payment
arrangement by a major taxpayer. At this point in time, it appears collections could come in
slightly over budget, so we are not anticipating this major revenue source will at least meet
budget, and will exceed it if the delinquent taxpayer makes their second agreed upon payment at
year end.
Sales Tax – Even though we expected this major revenue source to drop in 2020 because of the
COVID economic shutdown, it exceeded the 2019 actual and ended 2020 at $7.34 million, and
was conservatively set slightly below the 2020 actual at $7.2 million assuming COVID would
affect the beginning of the year. However, through the 2nd quarter, sales tax was up 26.6% over
the prior year, and at the end of July, we are ahead of 2020 by almost $1 million or 24.5% year to

date. Much of this growth is tied to major construction projects in the city limits, so we expect
this major revenue source to exceed this year’s budget estimate.
Sales Tax-Public Safety—The City started receiving this revenue in June of 2020, so the
$88,000 represents the first distribution of the new 0.3% Criminal Justice Tax then. Through
2021 we are exceeding the 50% mark on the budget, and expect it will also meet and exceed
current budget estimates.
Utility Tax – This revenue source experiences fluctuations either from rate adjustments or
fluctuations in usage. Second quarter results are slightly above the prior year. Rate increases in
Water, Wastewater, and Solid Waste were offset by the continuing downward trend in telephone
utility taxes. Through 6 months, this revenue source is on track to meet budget.
Gambling Taxes—This revenue stream is historically higher in the first half of the year,
although the closing of establishments that offer gambling greatly reduced the 1st half receipts. It
should be noted that Council reduced the card game tax rate over five years (2018-2022), so this
is expected to trend below the prior year actual. The restrictions of restaurants and bars has
negatively affected this revenue source, and even though we reduced the budget, this revenue is
trending to still be slightly below the 2021 budget.
Other Taxes—This consists of Leasehold Excise Tax and Admissions Tax, both of which are
still hard hit because of the economic shut-down. Fortunately, this is a small budget because we
will still likely be short about $25,000.
Licenses and Permits – This revenue is generated by the development community, and is
difficult to budget because it is volatile by nature. 2021 2nd quarter results are greatly exceeding
the 50% mark. We have had some large one-time permits that will translate to future
construction sales tax. In the future, the City Manager will be working on a long-term budgeting
plan that will ensure the City does not budget for recurring expenses based on these large one-
time project revenues to ensure city sustainability.
Intergovernmental Revenue – This category includes State-shared revenue ($468k), the PUD
privilege tax ($320k), and other grants (consisting primarily of Public Safety and Planning grants
totaling $502k). State-shared revenue is slightly exceeding budgeted estimates. The PUD tax is
received once a year in August. The other grants are reimbursement grants, so by mid-year, we
would typically expect to have 1 quarter of activity actually received. Overall, the category is
under budget at the mid-point of the year, but is anticipated to slightly exceed the total budget by
year end when the grant receivable is recorded.
Charges for Goods and Services primarily consist of:
Fees charged for Parks and Recreation Programs;
Moses Lake Council Packet 8-24-21, Page 7 of 101
The City Administrative fee charged to funds for the services provided by the executive
branch and finance;
Engineering services charged both to internal projects and external developers; and
School Resource Officers reimbursed by Moses Lake School District
Because of our switchover to the new payroll and financial management software system, the
function that allocates labor costs is lagging in implementation. This has delayed the
engineering charges to projects, causing this revenue to be under-reported by about $700k.
Additionally, the water park was only open for about one-third of the total season by the end of
June. I would expect this revenue to approximate budget by year end.
Fines and Penalties consist almost entirely of fines generated by the red-light camera program.
In 2020, because the schools closed, much the speeding in a school zone fine revenue was not
generated, and the “Stay Home” message resulted in less traffic so that the normally high ticket
intersections are not generating as many tickets. We reduced the 2021 revenue estimate because
of these factors, but we are currently trending above 2019 levels, when we collected $969k for
the year. We have paid Redflex $239k through 6 months, so this program has netted revenue of
about $300k for the Police Department in the first half of the year. If these trends continue, this
revenue will exceed budget by the end of the year.
Miscellaneous Revenues include interest earnings on investments and facility rentals. This
category is significantly less than prior year actual primarily because of lower interest rates for
investments – I don’t expect to hit the budget. It should be noted interest revenue comes into
General Fund throughout the year and we only allocate interest out to funds once at the end of
the year.
Other Financing Resources is made up primarily of a transfer from the Water Department of
excess maintenance and operating charges as authorized by RCW 35.23.535 ($500k). This
revenue is transferred at year-end.
Summary --Overall, the second quarter 2021 General Fund revenue came in at $14,777,389
which is 53.5% of the total year budget. There is a “mixed bag” of results through the first half
of 2021, with some of the smaller revenue that was sensitive to COVID issues along with interest
earnings below the 50% mark, but with large surges in some of the other revenues, like sales tax,
permitting fees and the red-light camera program exceeding budget. Total revenue increased by
$2,286,186 or 18.3% from the second quarter 2020 actual of $12,491,203. A new revenue
(public safety sales tax) accounts for about $555k of this increase, with large growth in regular
sales tax and permitting fees because of construction activity making a major contribution to the
increase.
Moses Lake Council Packet 8-24-21, Page 8 of 101
General Fund Expenditure Analysis
In total, General Fund Expenditures for the second quarter are 4.9% below the 50% mark, but are
up by 5.4% compared to the prior year. This increase consists primarily of the 2021 COLA
adjustment for Police and Fire union salaries, along with the budgeted use of the new public
safety tax in the Police Department. Another reason for the increase is moving the transfer to the
Risk Management 100% into the 1st quarter because the liability insurance premiums are due in
January.
There was a significant decrease in year-over-year actuals in the divisions that occupy the Civic
Center, (i.e. Legislative, Executive, Finance, and the museum in Parks, Recreation & Cultural
Services) because one of the debt service payments was paid off completely the end of 2020, so
debt service transfers were reduced.
Since General Fund is over 59% staffing, events effecting total payroll have a significant impact
on budgets. Position vacancies may start out being an “overage” because of the cashout of
earned accrued leave balances, but then can produce savings when the position is vacant for any
length of time. The City has had several high-level positions vacant for an extended period, i.e.
Engineering and Municipal Services Directors, and various positions in Parks, Recreation and
Cultural Services. Most variances in individual divisions are the result of position vacancies.

Moses Lake Council Packet 8-24-21, Page 9 of 101
Additionally, many conferences are still “virtual” in 2021, so the travel budgets have been
underspent through June 30.
A major expense in the Finance Department is the annual audit. This is typically performed in
the fall, but because of COVID and turnover of accountants, the audit for the 2019 financial
statement was pushed from the second half of 2020 into early 2021, which put Finance over the
50% mark. It should be noted that the 2020 budget will need to be completed by the end of the
year because we received over $750,000 in federal funding. This will likely require to be
included in the next appropriation ordinance.
Community Development has a large one-time expense in their professional services budget to
complete a Comprehensive Plan update, which saw significant activity in the first half of 2021.
The major component in the Miscellaneous Services budget is the General Fund transfers to
Streets and Debt Service funds. The transfers for debt service are accelerated in the 1st half of
the year so that debt service funds have adequate balances to make payments when due. Some of
the outside agency payments are also done once a year in the first half of the year (such as the
Health District and Grant County Economic Development Council assessments, along with
Senior Center support). These factors combined to bring this budget is slightly over the 50%
mark.
All other General Fund budgets are at varying levels below 50%. The largest percentage below
budget is the Parks and Recreation department because of the timing of recreation programs and
capital projects.
Conclusion—General Fund is trending below the 50% mark in expenditures. With revenues
bringing in about $14.8 million, compared to expenditures of $13.6 million, we are adding about
$1.2 million to the beginning General Fund balance during the first 6 months of 2021.
Departments are reviewing their capital needs, and there may be more requests coming through
to spend some of this one-time revenue increases such as Fire’s recent request to purchase a
demonstration apparatus that is currently available.
Moses Lake Council Packet 8-24-21, Page 10 of 101
Other Funds Analysis
Second quarter 2021 results generally performed as expected. Variances in capital funds are
related to timing of major projects, as well as capital components in operating funds (such as
Building Maintenance, Fleet Maintenance, Central Services (for the new computer software) and
Stormwater capital projects/purchases). Debt Service funds primarily only have interest
payments due in the first half of the year—principal payments are typically scheduled for later in
the year so the fund can build up the necessary balance. Property and liability insurance
premiums are due at the first of the year, so the Risk Management fund is over 86% spent
already.
The Homeless Services program helped with the down-payment for a more permanent temporary
shelter of about $200k. This program is primarily funded with reimbursable grants, so it had a
fund balance deficit at the 6-month mark, and has also almost spent its total authorized budget.
This additional expense will be included in the next appropriation ordinance.

Transfers out to Debt Service funds were all done in the first half of the year, as principal
payments come due in the 3rd and 4th quarters. This affected the fund balance total by
approximately $900,000.
The revenues in most funds are at or over the 50% mark, although there are exceptions.
Hotel/Motel tax is turning back up after a significant reduction in 2020. This revenue source is
typically more robust in the second half of the year, and historically, less than 40% of the total
for the year is collected in the first 6 months. We did reduce the estimate because of the
continuing reduction in travel in the first part of the year, but it is on target to meet the reduced
budget, and possibly exceed it.
The Streets Fund receives a Surface Transportation Block Grant distribution in September each
year, which is budgeted to be $270k. The timing of this distribution is causing the revenue
received to be below 50%.
Water/Wastewater Fund revenues typically increase during the hotter months, as more water is
used for irrigating.
The Airport Fund has a major grant for a fuel system in its budget, but since we have not been
able to procure a unit, both revenue and expenditure budgets are only 6.5% received and 4.5%
spent as of June 30. The airport board determined that they want to look at a new fuel system
versus used, so the project is being prepared to be put out to bid.
Equipment Rental/Fleet Maintenance is under the 50% mark in revenue because the LOCAL
borrowing for the Fire pumper/tender combination apparatus will not occur until November. The
expenditures are over the 50% mark because of timing of the capital purchases.
Conclusion
Overall, second quarter results are performing as expected. Most variances from the 50% mark
are related to normal timing. All funds have a healthy fund balance coming out of the COVID
19 economic shutdown. In the first half of the year, thanks in large part to a federal America
Rescue Plan grant of $3.36 million and the issuance of a LOCAL bond for the Larson Recreation
Center rebuild of $11.3 million, $17.2 million was added to citywide fund balances, and all funds
had positive fund balances on June 30, 2021, with the exception of the Homeless Services Fund
that is waiting for a grant reimbursement. General Fund added $1.15 million to its beginning
balance through the first 6 months, which is exceeding expectations at this point in time. As we
develop the 2022 budget, we will be mindful of potential one-time revenues that might be
available for one-time expenditures.

STAFF REPORT
To: Allison Williams, City Manager
From: Melissa Bethel, Community Development Director
Date: August 19, 2021
Proceeding Type: Public Hearing
Subject: Fox Property Vacate Right of Way Ordinance
Legislative History:
•First Presentation: July 27, 2021
•Second Presentation: August 24, 2021
•Action: Open Hearing, Hear from Public, Continue Hearing to September 14
Overview
The purpose of this public hearing is for City Council to take public comment in consideration of
vacating a portion of the Right-of- Way (ROW) on Third Ave adjacent to the Lewis Elliot Addition
No. 2 plat.
On November 26, 2019, Moses Lake City Council adopted Ordinance 2939 vacating a portion of
the Right-of-Way dedicated for the development of Third Avenue adjacent to the Lewis Elliott
Addition No. 2 plat. That ordinance contained a scrivener’s error in the legal description. The error
included a 30’ strip of property that runs 290’ along the southeasterly boundary of said plat. This
area is not part of a dedicated right of way (ROW). The corrected legal description is in the attached
ordinance.
Fiscal and Policy Implications
Per RCW 35.79.030, if the street has been part of a dedicated public right-of-way for more than
twenty-five years the owners of the property may be required to compensate the city for the full
appraised value of the property. Given that the applicant paid the city half of the appraised value
for 60’ of ROW when it was originally vacated, no additional compensation is owed to the city or
the applicant.
One-half of the revenue received by the city as compensation for the area vacated must be
dedicated to the acquisition, improvement, development, and related maintenance of public open
space or transportation capital projects within the city.

Summary
RCW 42.24 governs the process for audit and review of claims and payroll payments for the City. RCW 42.24.180 requires the review and approval of all payments at a regularly scheduled public meeting on at least a monthly basis. The State Budgeting, Accounting and Reporting Systems (BARS) Manual outlines the above format for approval by the City Council.
RCW 42.24.080 requires that all claims presented against the City by persons furnishing materials, rendering services, or performing labor must be certified by the appropriate official to ensure that the materials have been furnished, the services rendered, or the labor performed as described, and that the claims are just, due and unpaid obligations against the City.
RCW 42.24.180 allows expedited processing of the payment of claims when certain conditions have been met. The statute allows the issuance of warrants or checks in payment of claims before the legislative body has acted to approve the claims when: (1) the appropriate officers have furnished official bonds; (2) the legislative body has adopted policies that implement effective internal control; (3) the legislative body has provided for review of the documentation supporting the claims within a month of issuance; and (4) that if claims are disapproved, they shall be recognized as receivables and diligently pursued.
The City meets all these conditions.
To comply with the requirements, Finance staff schedule payment of claims and payroll for semi-monthly Council approval on the Consent Agenda. The payments listed in the schedule cover all claims and payroll payments during the period prior to the date of the Council meeting.
All payments made during this period were found to be valid claims against the City. Details are attached and any questions should be directed to the City Manager or Finance Director.
The City’s internal controls include certification of the validity of all payments by the appropriate department prior to submission for payment. The Finance Director has delegated authority for the examination of vouchers and authorization of payments to the Finance, Accounts Payable, and Payroll staff. All payments are reviewed and validated. The Finance Division regularly reviews its processes to ensure appropriate internal controls are in place.

Legislative History:
•First Presentation: City Manager Report 2020
•Second Presentation: August 24, 2021
•Action: Motion to Authorize the City Manager additional Spending Authority
Overview
Over the past year the City has invested in securing the additional water rights that are vital to
ongoing development and sustainability of the city. Key to those efforts was the successful
resolution of an appeal by the city in response to a denial by the Department of Ecology to
recognize and modify the water rights represented by pre-code water rights claims. The City
reached a satisfactory settlement with Ecology that resulted in the addition of 1,046 acre-feet per
year to the city’s water right portfolio. This block of water is specific to the shallow aquifer
system and will provide the city with the ability to develop a redundant well system to augment
the deeper aquifer system which is experiencing declines. In addition, the City has pursued the
acquisition and transfer of seven irrigation-based water rights which are being converted to
provide for municipal needs. In total these new purchases will add an additional 1,205 acre-feet
to the City’s portfolio. Ongoing water resource support work is needed to both finalize the water
right change process, as well as creating an action plan for developing new wells and effectively
utilizing these new water right assets. The following contract outlines the first phase of additional
work for this effort.
Fiscal and Policy Implications
For 2021 the City Manager has used her authority to authorize the work as it progressed (up to
$50,000), however entering into this new phase, staff wanted to provide an update to Council,
receive authorization from Council for this additional work along with an approval up to $50,000
for additional work this year from Aspect. The City is not currently staffed to handle this
specialized work. Aspect has been very effective and diligent in their work on behalf of the City.

Date: July 30, 2021
Change No.: 11
Project No. : 180155
Project Name: Moses Lake Source Development Action Plan
Description of Change Cost
The City of Moses Lake (City) was recently successful in resolving its
appeal with Ecology which provided authority for up to 30 new wells in the shallow aquifer. These same proposed well sources are the subject of numerous acquisitions that the City is in the process of completing via
Ecology and the Grant County Conservancy Board.
The City is beginning to develop its next Water System Plan Update, as well as capital budget planning for new well construction now that water right authorizations are beginning to be finalized. Aspect proposes to assist the City in developing a prioritized list of activities it will initiate over the
coming years. Prioritization will consist of both physical capacity and legal water right capacity. Criteria that will influence physical capacity prioritization include:
1. The capacity of the shallow wells already drilled.
2. The DOH approval process for new sources. 3. Where existing demand in the City is approaching source constraints. 4. Where new growth is planned or likely.
5. The potential effects of the existing TCE Superfund plume and its migration on City sources. 6. Geologic information on which proposed well site are likely to be the most productive.
Aspect will use GIS to overlay these criteria and develop a matrix ranking of each of the 30 wells (high, medium, low) and then further rank the high priority well sites from highest to lowest priority. The goal is to ensure the City is prioritizing source development in the areas it needs it most.
Criteria that will influence legal capacity prioritization include: 1. The City’s overall portfolio of rights relative to planned growth.
2. The relative authority of water rights in each aquifer.
3. The rate of aquifer declines. 4. The City’s goal for source redundancy for long-term planning. 5. The City’s planned urban growth area and what water rights it may be asked to acquire over time.
6. The likely cost of additional acquisitions relative to other City priorities.

Aspect will meet with the City and develop a matrix of options for future water right acquisitions that can be compared to the physical water supply priorities. Aspect will provide an updated Water Right Self-Assessment for
use in the City’s upcoming water system plan.
Aspect will provide a technical memo Action Plan summarizing the results of this effort. This Action Plan will provide an estimate of likely costs over the next 5 years that the City should budget for to meet these priorities.
Costs will be based on recent City well drilling, Aspect’s experience in navigating DOH source approval costs, and recent water right acquisition costs. Included in this scope are up to three virtual meetings to gather and vet data, discuss options, and present results.
This change amends the contract between Aspect Consulting, LLC and Client signed April 6, 2018. Except as amended above, all terms and conditions of contract apply to this contract change.

Subject: Award Engineering Services Contract Amendment for the
Tana Lift Station
Legislative History:
• First Presentation: August 24, 2021
• Second Presentation:
• Action: Motion
Overview
The Tana Lift Station is in the process of being upgraded from an old vacuum prime system to a
new submersible pump system. This work is essential, as the old vacuum prime system no longer
has parts available for it. The lift station work has been planned and previously budgeted.
Electrical and communications improvements are being conducted through on-call engineering
services by RH2 Engineering for electrical design. Electrical design is one area that we do not
have in house expertise.
Staff is requesting to execute a Task Authorization to continue design for the electrical panel and
communications hardware as well as the necessary programming for the upgrades to the Tana
Lift Station. Council authorization is requested, as this task brings the amount above the
administrative authorization amount.
This project, and this task, is already included in the 2021 budget. Design and programming
services will be conducted as a not to exceed fee of $24,707.
Fiscal and Policy Implications
The project will require existing planned and budgeted funds to be spent.

Staff Report Summary
The next (and final) step for Council action to finance the purchase of the fire apparatus currently
under contract to be built is to approve the bond ordinance and the interlocal agreement with
the State of Washington LOCAL program. This program, run by the State Treasurer, allows local
governments to use the borrowing power of the State to issue bonds on our behalf. The state
has asked for us to have these executed documents back by September 7.
Background
We discussed this option during the budget process. At the July 13 meeting, Council approved an
application for the LOCAL program titled “Notice of Intent”, which signaled to the State that we
were intending to use their program to borrow funds for a combination Fire pumper-tender
apparatus. The state has authorized our use of their LOCAL program for this purpose.
Fiscal and Policy Implications
This transaction does bind Council to issue the debt for the Fire apparatus. The state has
approved us to borrow $840,000 with a 10-year repayment cycle. They provided an estimate of
debt service, with both a current and pessimistic interest rate of 1.33% and 2.05% respectively,
producing a first-year annual debt service estimate of between $96,500 and $103,400, with
ongoing annual payment of a range of $91,000 and $94,000. An estimate made earlier this year
had annual debt service at $90,000, so the more up-to-date estimate is very close.
The state will conduct their bond sale on October 26, 2021, and proceeds will be available to us
on November 17, 2021. We have been in contact with the vendor who is building the apparatus,
Moses Lake Council Packet 8-24-21, Page 51 of 101
and we could need to pay for the chassis sometime in November, so we added verbiage in the
ordinance that authorizes a reimbursement if we pay for any part of the equipment before the
funds are available. Other points for Council consideration are that we are pledging the “full faith
and credit” of the City, and this debt will be counted as debt in our limitation of debt calculation.
Our debt load is relatively small, so we have adequate capacity for these LOCAL issues.

Overview
At the regular meeting on August 14, Council Member Liebrecht requested to have staff draft a
resolution stating the City’s objection to a statewide income tax, similar to other Eastern
Washington cities. The action is intended to send a message to the Governor and State Legislature
that this type of tax is unwanted. It is also intended to hold this Council accountable for not
adopting a local income tax if such a tax is enabled by the Courts and Legislature and send a
message to future Councils.

RESOLUTION NO. 3863
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF MOSES LAKE WASHINGTON, REGARDING OPPOSITION TO A LOCAL INCOME TAX, AND OTHER MATTERS RELATING THERETO.
Recitals: 1. Article VII, § 1 of the Washington State Constitution establishes the basic framework for taxation in the state of Washington, including what shall be permitted as a tax.
2. After the City of Seattle attempted to enact an income tax on certain individuals
applicable within its municipal boundaries, the Washington State Court of Appeals, Division I ruled that such a tax, when selectively applied, was unconstitutional and invalid. Kunath v. City of Seattle, 10 Wash. App. 2d 205 (Div. I 2019).
3. Certain language in the Kunath ruling has caused discussion in various communities
across Washington as to whether cities have authority to impose a local income tax, which is legally considered a tax on property. 4. RCW 36.65.030 states that a county, city or city-county shall not levy a tax on net
income.
5. Cities across the state of Washington have attempted to implement a city implemented city income tax and been rejected.
6. Washington State Voters have rejected the opportunity to adopt an income tax ten times.
7. The Legislature is considering the imposition of an income tax as a method to finance gaps in state programs.
8. The City Council desires to declare its position regarding the potential for a local income
tax on its residents. Resolved: 1. The City Council hereby declares its position that the imposition of a local income tax on
the residents of the City of Moses Lake is prohibited and asks the Governor and our State
Representatives to consider the will of the people. As such, the Moses Lake City Council will prohibit the imposition of a local income tax in the event a local income tax is determined legal and permissible by the Washington State Supreme Court or the Washington State Legislature.
ADOPTED by the City Council on August 24, 2021.

Proceeding Type: New Business
Subject: Replacement Brush Truck
Legislative History:
•First Presentation: August 24, 2021
•Second Presentation:
•Action: Motion
Overview
The City currently operates two Brush Trucks. One is a 2001 4x4 Brush Engine and the other is a 2-
wheel drive 1997 Ford flatbed brush truck. The 1997 truck was a used truck when the City bought
it in 2007. This truck was a delivery truck before it was equipped as a brush truck and was not
purpose built or specified as a brush truck.
Over the 4th of July weekend we had one brush unit go out of service for serious maintenance
issues. This left us with a single brush resource for over a month. The 1997 unit has additional
maintenance issues including a problem with the air brake system and has 168,000 miles on it.
Fleet management has a spread sheet prepared by retired Fleet Manager Steve Hibbs indicating
that the 1997 truck is due for replacement. Fleet management showed a replacement cost of
$350,000 when the replacement document was prepared.
We have found a demonstrator unit in Henderson, Nevada that would adequately replace the
1997 unit, and at a cost savings over the purchase of a new construction unit.
We need to add brush response capability to increase the number of in-service units to three. The
proposed demo unit would allow us to immediately replace the 1997 brush truck, and then re-
utilize the tank, pump, and front turret nozzle to install on a new chassis. Using a state bid chassis,
such as a Ford F550, we could build a new Type VI grass unit using the repurposed tank, pump, and
nozzle from the 1997 unit.
A proposal for a Type VI unit will be made through the annual budget process as an addition.
Vehicle 214, the 1997 Ford brush truck, would be removed from service and equipment salvaged
to install on a new chassis at such time a chassis was approved through the normal budgeting
process.
Moses Lake Council Packet 8-24-21, Page 92 of 101
The demonstrator unit is available for immediate delivery and is currently located in Henderson
Nevada. If we waited to build a new purpose built unit delivery is estimated at 18 months to 24
months from order.
Given the maintenance issues present with the 1997 Ford, Fire is requesting that this unit be
replaced early with the demonstrator unit.
Purchasing the proposed unit offers cost savings of approximately $115,000 over the cost of
building a new Type VI unit, and a cost savings of approximately $245,000 over the cost of a Type
III unit. This cost savings allows us to add a second Type VI grass unit to the fleet as well as the new
demonstrator unit for slightly more than the cost of a new construction Type VI unit.
The estimated lifespan of this unit is 20 – 25 years.
Fiscal and Policy Implications
The purchase price of the demonstrator unit is $191,000.00 Tax, licensing, and upfit of radios is
estimated to bring the total purchase price to approximately $235,000.00
Waiting to replace the 1997 Ford Brush Truck with a purpose built new unit is estimated to cost
approximately 7% per year in increased costs. The current estimate for a purpose built Type III
truck is $450,000.00 not including upfit, and a new construction Type VI truck is $350,000.
