HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL Subject: Proposed FY 13-15 Proposed Policy Budget Date: June 12,2013 Page 6 direction, staff can revise the repayment plan, and one option is to smooth the amount of $754,388 over four year. Of note, fund #4100 should have been paying for vehicle replacement and the amount has not been factored in the expenditure. If we slow down the repayment, it will hinder the City's ability to achieve the goal to include vehicle replacement in this fund. 4) On p.
