This Ordinance authorizes a new lease agreement for golf carts with Lake Erie Golf Cars, LLC for a five-year term at $90,720 per year, financed through PNC Equipment Finance, LLC.

SECTION 4. That subject to annual appropriations in future years, the expenditure in the amount of $90,720 annually over the term of the agreement authorized in Section 2 is authorized from the Golf Improvements Fund Account Codes 2005-40100-5C13804STDSTD, 2005-40100-5C13805STDSTD and 2005-40100-5C13806STDSTD for golf cart lease payments.
