The city's leased fleet of police vehicles is rotated every two years. Because the vehicle lessor (in this case, Zions Bank) requires the city to purchase the fleet at the end of the two-year lease term, the city requires the original seller of the fleet (in this case, Garff Enterprises) to agree at the time of sale to repurchase the fleet at the end of the lease term, thereby insulating the city from the repurchase risk. This resolution will approve the city's entry into the repurchase agreement.
