Morita, the cost total we are asking for the repairs is $180,000.00. Dale, are we going to paint the trim after doing the building. Mora, yes that is part of the cost. Amparano, who is responsible for the maintenance? Morita, the city's contract with a realtor to manage the property.
Amparano, what is the value of the apartments, are we spending more than what the property is worth? Morita, at the time they were acquired, I believe we got them at tax cost and there were a few leans, and the city paid below market. I am not sure about the current market and the cost of repair. I would not know. Dale, how many acres is the property? Mora, just under two acers. Dale, the property alone is worth the $180,000.00.
It's worth it. We need to do it.
Action:
Tucker, made a motion for the authorization to proceed with repairs to 6th Street Apartments, with an amount not to exceed $180,000.00. Burnworth, seconded the motion.

E-7. Subject: Enterprise Fleet Management Agreement
Discussion:
Brown, presented the staff report. Amparano, will we be doing the maintenance? Brown, it will be a combination. The existing vehicles we will still be responsible for maintaining them in house. The new vehicles will be maintained by Enterprise. Amparano, so what happens after the end of the lease? Brown, it is contracted to FY 2025 and then we will bring it back to council. Amparano, so an average pick-up truck would get an annual average of 7,500 miles for 60 months. That is five years for $114,000.00. Brown, the $114,000.00 is only for this fiscal year and is subject to change on an annual basis, each year we would be going through the budget and figuring out what vehicles we would be trading out.
Action:
Burnworth, made a motion to approve the agreement between the City of Imperial and Enterprise Fleet Management not to exceed $114,000.00 for Fiscal Year 2022-2023.
