CITY OF LODI
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Authorize Lodi Police Department to accept the donation of a
2001 Ford F-150 Van from Ford Construction Company, Inc., of Lodi
MEETING DATE: July 15,2009
PREPARED BY: David J. Main, Chief of Police
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize Lodi Police Department to accept the donation of a 2001
Ford F-150 van from Ford Construction Company Inc., of Lodi.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Currently the Police Department has a 1991 Dodge van (05-056)
that has a blown engine and a 1994 Ford F-350 truck (05-062D) that
is primarily used to pull the DUI trailer. Both of these vehicles are
assigned to the traffic unit. The Dodge van was used by the Parking
Enforcement Officers and the Major Accident Investigation Team (MATT) to conduct traffic accident
investigations. Acquiring this vehicle will allow the Police Department to consolidate the functions of
these two vehicles into one. This van is capable of serving both needs thereby allowing for the reduction
of the police fleet by one vehicle. This will translate into some minor savings in maintenance and repair
costs.
FISCAL IMPACT: Minor savings from reduced maintenance and repair costs.
