Ordinance No. O86-1534 and Section 5.04.015.F of the Metro Code require that allocations from the 4% Fund each be supported by information sheets, which are attached to the resolution. The information sheets detail the cost of the equipment or building repairs, whether the cost is related to a replacement, the age of the equipment being replaced, and the estimated life of the equipment.
