APPROVAL OF A LEASE PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH UNITED FINANCIAL OF
NORTH CAROLINA, INC.: Mr. Ken Hall, the Wayside VFD Fire Chief, said this request
pertained to the purchase of a new truck ($273,654.95) from American LeFrance. The department's
other trucks are currently financed with United Financial of North Carolina. This financial
institution studied the indebtedness of the department and found the payment of the other trucks to
beat $349,288. Refinancing now with the new truck included can save the department $3,716.35
(total). The proposed refinancing at ten payments would be $345,572.55. Hall said the Fire
Commission had offered $150,000. He also said if the VFD could pay $50,000 within the next two
weeks $2,500 could be saved. Another $500 can be saved if $15,000 can be paid when the pump is
ready for installment. If $30,000 can be paid when the body of the truck is fabricated the
department can save $1,000. If $ 10,000 can be paid when the tank is installed, another $500 can be
saved.
