Resolution to Accept Grant Funds from the American Lung Association and Appropriate to the Climate Action Millage Fund to reimburse $667,621.00 for the Purchase of Two Electric Refuse Trucks ($667,621.00) (8 Votes Required)
Memorandum
Attached for your review and consideration is a resolution to accept and appropriate $667,621.00 in federal pass-through grant funding from the American Lung Association to reimburse the Climate Action Millage for funding allocated to support the purchase of two electric refuse trucks. The City worked with the American Lung Association to apply for this funding nearly 15 months ago and was notified on November 21, 2024 that funding in the amount of $667,621.00 was being awarded to the City to support the purchase of two electric refuse trucks.
Recognizing the long-lead times for electric vehicles, especially heavy-duty vehicles, the City proactively ordered these two electric refuse trucks via R-23-376. In that Resolution, City Council authorized the spending of $1,483,601.78 for the two electric refuse trucks, with funding coming from the following:
* $397,567.00 from the FY 2024 Fleet Services Fund Operations and Maintenance budget
* $741,800.89 from the FY 2024 Climate Action Millage budget
* $344,233.89 from the FY 2025 Climate Action Millage budget
The American Lung Association grant award would cover 45% ($667,621.00) of the cost for these trucks and would reimburse the Community Climate Action Millage budget for its contribution to the purchase.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: Funds from this grant award will be used to reimburse the Climate Action Millage Fund in the amount of $667,621.00 for a portion of the two electric refuse trucks ordered after approval by City Council via R-23-376.
