SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In December of 2021, McCall Airport was notified by a part-time resident of McCall that he would like to sell a snow broom truck that he had purchased from PDX to handle his private
driveway near Portland, OR. The truck was revealed to not only far be too large for his purposes, but the snow in that area is too wet and infrequent for this equipment to be cost-effective
(which is why PDX sold it). The Airport Superintendent and the City Mechanic inspected the truck in January and had the fluids tested at Western States Caterpillar. All test results
were excellent, and the equipment is in very good shape. The truck’s estimated value is around $70,000, and it will provide reduced labor and fuel costs thanks to its 20’ broom head,
vs. the 11’ broom head of the old one. The AAC reviewed the proposed purchase in January and recommends approval.
This purchase is within the City Manager’s authority, but the expense was not included in the FY22 budget as the City was not aware of the equipment’s availability at the time the budget
was adopted. The proposed funding source for this purchase is the Airport available fund balance. The Airport available fund balance at the beginning of FY21 was $712,832. The Airport
has a contingency budget of $150,000 contingent revenue and contingent expense. Should the Council approve this purchase and the use of available fund balance, staff recommends and
requests approval to transfer $48,450 from Contingent Revenue and Contingent Expense as follows:
29-30-050-997.0 Appropriated Fund Balance $48,450 29-56-200-702.0 Capital Purchase $48,450
29-99-075-100.0 Contingent Revenue ($48,450) 29-99-750-100.0 Contingent Expense $48,450
(decrease budget)
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the appropriation and use of Airport fund balance in the amount of $48,450 to purchase a Snow Broom truck and approve the line-item transfer from contingent revenue and expense
to the appropriate revenue and expense accounts in the operating revenue and capital Airport budget.
