RESOLUTION NO <br />City of New Brighton <br />County of Ramsey <br />State of Minnesota <br />Resolution Adopting the Long-Term Financing Plan for the Capital Replacement Plans <br />Whereas, the City of New Brighton provides numerous services for the public. These services <br />require the use of a wide range of capital assets. It is recognized that these capital assets must be <br />maintained and will eventually wear out and need to be replaced; and <br />Whereas, the City faces the challenges of meeting infrastructure and equipment needs with <br />limited financial resources. Ongoing service delivery can be assured only if adequate <br />consideration is given to capital needs; and <br />Whereas, in order to meet these needs, the City has established Capital Replacement Plans. <br />The Capital Replacement Plans are multiyear plans identifying capital needs to be financed <br />during the planning period; and <br />Whereas, the City's Capital Replacement Plans consist of the Fleet Capital Replacement, the <br />Non-Fleet Capital Replacement, and the Pavement Management Plans; and <br />Whereas, a critical component of effective Capital Replacement Plans is long-term financing; and <br />Whereas, the City has identified additional sources of financing necessary to maintain its capital <br />assets and service levels. <br />Now Therefore Be It Resolved that: <br />1. Operating budgets will continue to include annual installments and these installments will need to <br />be increased to keep pace with inflation. <br />2. As of December 31, 2009, the General Fund's reserves exceed the targeted amount per the City's <br />Fund Balance Policy. The Finance Director is authorized to transfer $1,100,000 from the General <br />Fund to the Fleet and Non-Fleet Capital Replacement Funds. <br />3. Starting in 2016, the portion of the debt service tax levy, $393,000 for the 2010A G.O. Public <br />Safety Center Refunding Bonds, will be redirected to the Fleet and Non-Fleet Capital <br />Replacement Funds. <br />4. In the Capital Projects Fund # 422, there are resources currently available to provide supplemental <br />financing to the Pavement Management Plans. The Finance Director is authorized to transfer <br />those monies to the Pavement Management Fund as they become available and unencumbered.
