B,ifxc O[3 QD IIINtiRt•SATIcxv : ine last year City purchased Police vehicles
was 1963 We were able then to crake purchase of
e
vehicles at a good pr1Oe• We have been Placing
these vehicles in service as the meed becomes apparent. We have been rebuilding
vehicles since that time and have extended life expectancy to over 15,000
rules. The last of these vehicles will be placed into service this year.
We plan to include 5 vehicles in the Police budget for new cars in the 1987-88
budget. On March 3 we were notified Swift Dodge was making these cars
available, which are $560 less than, Police units available Eton the State of

In addition to the cost savings, another bid attraction is that these 1987
*,
vehicles are identical 3 the other Dodge Diplomats in our fleet. Therefore,
we can standardize parts and in case of accident cannibalize old vehicles.
If we do not act before adoption of the 1987-88 budget, we will have to wait
until. early 1988 to receive favorable pricing such as this, arO then '.,rill not
receive vehicles until late Spring or early Stormer of 1988'
