The ambulances will be sold to the equipment fund that allows for the refinancing of the original debt and initial working capital. The Ambulance fund will then rent the equipment. This will allow the ambulance to refinance its loans at a very reasonable rate. Staff explored several other options for refinancing this note and this option was the most economical.
