Since 1995, the City of Metter has used the GMA Direct Lease Program to finance a variety of essential equipment including Police Vehicles, Fire Trucks, Excavators, Knuckle Boom Trucks and Computer Servers. To initiate a new transaction, the City forwards the quote sheet or invoice for the equipment being financed along with the last City’s last 3 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (if not available online). GMA will then forward the formal request to the bank. After approval, GMA then prepares the Lease Supplement (including Council Resolution) for execution. After forwarding the executed documents to GMA, the closing is scheduled which provides the City the funds for the purchase. The City and GMA have created a seamless working relationship leading to quick execution for Metter’s vehicle and equipment needs.
