Background and Discussion:

Commercial Paper Series D-2 can be used for (1) construction of public works, (2) the purchase of automobiles, equipment and machinery, including computers, materials and supplies for the operation of the County’s precincts and departments (3) Professional services, including services provided by engineers, architects, attorneys, auditors, financial advisors, and fiscal agents, in connection with the contractual obligations described in (1) and (2).

 

Commercial Paper is being requested for the Roofing Systems Repair and Replacement Countywide project and is expected to be repaid within the next three fiscal years either through bonds, budgetary means or pay-as-you-go sources.  This is for approval for allocation of commercial paper for a previously approved project within the previously authorized amount.

 

HB 1869 compliance confirmed by:  Scott Lemond, Special Assistant County Attorney, February 28, 2022

 

Expected Impact:

This is an ongoing lifecycle management project to identify and construct all required repairs and/or replacements for County facilities that are currently maintained by FPM.

 

 

 

 

Alternative Options:

Not funding this program would lead to an even greater backlog of deferred maintenance to perform later and in some cases could create hazards to life and safety. Delay in project timeline may increase costs due to increased deterioration of infrastructure, potential bid increases, and increase in material and labor costs.

 

Alignment with Goal(s):

_ Justice and Safety

_ Economic Opportunity

_ Housing

_ Public Health

_ Transportation

_ Flooding

_ Environment

X Governance and Customer Service
