WHEREAS, the payments to Key Government Finance shall be over a five-year period with the final payment due in 2012 in the amount of $48,558.39 per annum which includes both principal and interest; and

 

WHEREAS, the estimated life expectancy for the new Vactor Truck is ten (10) years old, costs associated with the purchase of the truck are expected to be recaptured within five (5) years.

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the Ingham County Board of Commissioners hereby authorizes the purchase of a new Vactor Truck for the Drain Commissioner’s Office, priced at $308,567.50 minus $12,500.00 in trade in of old Vactor Truck and a $75,000.00 down payment leaving $221,067.50 to be paid through an Installment Purchase Agreement with Key Government Finance at 4.92% per annum interest, with five payments of $48,558.39 per annum which includes both principal and interest.

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board Chairperson and County Clerk are hereby authorized to sign any necessary documents after approval as to form by the County Attorney.
