I request authority to replace two automobiles which are now
considered beyond economic repair. The vehicles include one
in the Police Department which was considered and approved for
inclusion in the budget, but was inadvertently left out of the
budget submitted to the City Council, and one in the Parks
Department which is used by the Park Patrol.
The Police vehicle is used for undercover work and
administrative travel (to training classes, etc.). It is a
high mileage vehicle and now has mechanical problems which
need attention. A new vehicle can be put into service
elsewhere in the department and a vehicle currently in service
passed down for administrative service. It is anticipated
that this replacement can be purchased as a used car from a
rental supply.
The vehicle used by the park patrol was an extremely high
mileage car which has stopped running and is no longer in use.
The concept for replacement is to either buy a used compact
auto or pickup truck depending upon market availability and
cost.
Estimated cost for these vehicles are as follows:
Police vehicle
Park vehicle

$8,000.00
$5,800.00
$13,800.00
