DATED THIS 2nd day of November, 1990. Edna Wilson, Mayor city of Seal Beach" 11-5-90 RESOLUTION NUMBER 3988 - EOUIPMENT LEASE/PURCHASE AGREEMENT Resolution Number 3988 was presented to Council entitled "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH AUTHORIZING THE EQUIPMENT LEASE/PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND SIGNATORIES." By unanimous consent, full reading of Resolution Number 3988 was waived. The Director of Public Works presented the staff report, noted Council approval of a lease/purchase agreement in August, 1990 at which time arrangement was made through M. L. Stearn & Company to obtain financing for the equipment from Chelsea Capital Corporation at a rate of eight percent, however that firm recently decided to not provide the financing. Mr. Jue recommended approval of Resolution Number 3988 authorizing the lease/purchase through Maryland Nationalease Corporation also at a fixed rate of eight percent for the term of four years. He confirmed the purchase is for the same equipment previously approved by the Council. With regard to the purchase of right side drive vehicles for parking control as opposed to Cushman vehicles, the Public Works Director stated he believed the change was due to safety concerns by the Police Department in driving the three-wheel Cushman vehicles from the Department to various areas of the City, also concern with following the street sweeper. Councilmember Hastings requested a cost comparison of the right side drive vehicles to the CUshman vehicles. Mr. Jue noted that the Chevette allows the issuance of citations without exiting the vehicle, that the vehicles purchased are used vehicles at a considerably lesser cost than new vehicles, that the two vehicles to be used in conjunction with the two remaining CUshmans, and confirmed that the CUshman is a gas powered vehicle. Mr. Archibold noted one concern was that the Cushman vehicle falls within the same category as a motorcycle and there are no operating personnel with that type of license. Mayor ProTem Laszlo suggested staff provide a report setting forth accident statistics involving the Cushman vehicles, the projected life of a CUshman versus the right hand drive vehicle, and a cost comparison. Councilmember Hastings reported an objection from a resident regarding the purchase of the four by four Lifeguard truck, and indicated her desire to exclude purchase of the two right hand drive vehicles at this time. The Public Works Director reported bids are due for the Lifeguard truck in late November and that the Council would have the option to subsequently either award or reject the bids, and noted it is current policy to replace vehicles on an regular basis, the Lifeguard vehicle being a replacement. Discussion continued. Mr. Ronald Kredell, Seal Way, claimed the Lifeguard Department presently has four four-wheel drive vehicles, one of which is new, said he felt the moving stock is more than is necessary. He also made reference to a new law that will require the use of a certain percentage of electric powered vehicles by a specific deadline, suggesting that such vehicles should be looked into. Hastings moved, second by Forsythe, to adopt Resolution Number 3988 as presented. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Forsythe, Hastings, Laszlo None Hunt, Wilson Motion carried CITY COUNCIL ITEMS Councilmember Forsythe made reference to a memorandum received this date advising that the Mola Corporation is intending to prepare another financial analysis of their project, which she said she felt was somewhat after the fact and inappropriate, also expressed concern with using the I I. I 11-5-90/11-13-90 I previous EIR and the statistics of that document as factual information, and inquired if City staff could review the EIR and pinpoint areas such as traffic, air quality, etc., that should likewise be updated. Councilmember Hastings noted the analysis of the project had shown an approximate $175,000 shortfall, that the proposed initiative is based on the same plan and EIR, therefore it appears that an update of the financial analysis is intended to benefit the initiative that may be before the voters. Mayor ProTem Laszlo inquired if Michael Brandman & Associates had indicated that Mola Development is seeking an update of the financial analysis, what recourse the City would have to such request, or if another firm could be selected by the City to do the analysis. Mr. Archibold stated the City could not prevent Mola from doing a revised analysis, however the City would have the option of requesting a separate financial study. There were no Oral Communications and no Closed Session was held.
