Staff Summary:
We originally planned to enter into a seven year financing agreement with US Bank. After City Commission
approval in November 2012,the financing application was completed and submitted to US Bank. In January 2013,
US Bank denied the City's application. We then requested a quote from Ford Municipal Financing Company. Ford
has financed all of the City's vehicle purchases since 2007. Ford has agreed to finance the street sweeper. The
interest rate increased from 2.97%to 3.82%and the term will be five years instead of seven years. The new term
of the financing agreement will now match the term of the maintenance agreement.
DucE to the decrease in the term of the agreement and the small increase in the interest, the annual cost of the
ma chine will increase from $47,031 to$60,015.48.
Proposed Action:
Apwroval.

Good Afternoon Faye,
I am sorry for the delay. At this time we are unable to offer the City of Opa-Locka credit approval for financing. The credit
decision was based on the removal of Moody's rating in 2009 and increasing operating deficit in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if there are any questions or concerns.
