Unless otherwise prohibited by state law, regulations of the Division of Municipal Corporations of the Office of the State Auditor, the Walla Walla municipal code, or other ordinances or resolutions of the Walla Walla city council, transfers may be made to an internal service fund established by this chapter from budgeted appropriations in any city fund or from an internal service fund by order of the city manager or the city treasurer for the purposes of such approved appropriations.

3.21.050 Equipment rental fund.

There is created and established an equipment rental fund which shall be segregated into an “equipment operation and maintenance fund” and an “equipment replacement fund.” The equipment operation and maintenance fund shall be used as a revolving fund to be expended for salaries, wages, operations required for the repair and operation of equipment, and for the purchase of equipment, materials, and supplies to be used in the administration and operation of such fund. The “equipment replacement fund” shall be used as a revolving fund to be expended for replacement and purchase of equipment, and for the purchase of equipment, materials, and supplies to be used in the administration and operation of the fund. Such funds shall acquire the equipment necessary to serve the needs of the city street division of the public works department and shall service all other departments of the city.

A. All equipment of any office or department of the city shall be transferred to the equipment replacement fund without charge, unless the city council grants a credit to such office or department equivalent to the value of the equipment, materials or supplies transferred. An office or department receiving such a credit may use it any time thereafter for renting or purchasing equipment, materials, supplies or services from the equipment replacement fund.

B. As authorized by the city council, equipment, materials and supplies may be sold by either the equipment operation and maintenance fund or the equipment replacement fund, subject to any laws governing sale of property. The proceeds received from the sale of such property shall be placed in the fund from which the property is sold.

C. In accordance with the Walla Walla city purchasing manual, equipment, materials and supplies may be purchased or rented for use by the equipment operation and maintenance fund or the equipment replacement fund, subject to any laws governing the purchase and rental of property. The purchase price or rental payments for any such property shall be made from moneys available in the appropriate fund.

D. Equipment, materials and supplies held by the equipment operation and maintenance fund or the equipment replacement fund may be rented to the various departments of the city for their use. There shall be paid monthly into the equipment operation and maintenance fund and the equipment replacement fund out of the moneys available to the department using any equipment, materials, and/or supplies, which have not been purchased by that department for its own use and out of its own funds, reasonable rental charges fixed by ordinance of the city council which it may from time to time amend by subsequent ordinance.

E. Money may be placed in either fund from time to time by city council.

F. Moneys in each fund shall be retained there from year to year so long as the city council desires to do so.

G. The Walla Walla support services department shall administer the equipment operation and maintenance fund and the equipment replacement fund under the supervision of the city manager and city treasurer. See RCW 35A.37.010(4) and RCW 35.21.088. (Ord. 2016-27 § 1, 2016: Ord. 99-6 § 23(part), 1999).
