APPROVE PURCHASE OF TWO ADDITIONAL VEHICLES FOR THE POLICE r,FPARTM'1Nj
PREPARED BY: Assistant City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City Council authorize the purchase of two vehicles
and radios for the Police Department. One to be assigned
to the Combined Rural and City Narcotics Enforcement Team
(CRACNET) and the second to be assigned to the Community
Service Officer program, and to authorize the transfer of $15,000 from the General
Fund Operating Reserve to the Equipment Fund.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: When the budget was presented to the City Council it
contained the recommendation of hiring two Community
Service Officers instead of one Police Officer. in order
for these positions to be most effective, we need to
" provide them: with transportation. We will have four Community_ Service Officers
working with patrol with overlapping days and overlapping hours which will requi''re
a second vehicle.
The previous agenda item authorized the formation of a narcotics enforcement team.
As part of our commitment, we need to provide a vehicle.
It is recommended Council approve the purchase of these vehicles from rental
agencies or fleet dealers (used vehicles) as authorized by the recently adopted
change to the bidding procedure outlined in Lodi Municipal Code Section 3.20.070.
In order to fund this equipment purchase, a transfer to the Equipment Fund from the
General Operating Fund Reserve in the amount of $15,000 will be required.
