HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - May 19, 1999 E-16AGENDA TITLE: Purchase of Police Motorcycle
DATE: May 19, 1999
PREPARED BY: LARRY D. HANSEN, CHIEF OF POLICE
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council authorize Lodi Police Department to purchase an
additional Harley Davidson Police Motorcycle and equipment to be used in
special events and traffic enforcement projects.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Currently, the Lodi Police Department has a three-person motorcycle
unit and they all ride Harley Davidson Motorcycles. We also have two
old motorcycles that our officers have maintained on their own time
that are used for training and special events. Due to the age of these
two remaining motorcycles, it is felt that the purchase of a new one is necessary. When we have special
events, such as the Grape Festival weekend, Christmas parade, 4t' of July, and traffic enforcement
projects, all five of the police motorcycles are used extensively.
The funding for this additional motorcycle will come from the Auto Theft Enhancement Account. The
motorcycle maintenance is handled off-site and should not impact the City Vehicle Maintenance Shop.
Chief Hansen will be available to answer any questions at the City Council meeting.
FUNDING: $24,300 (which includes motorcycle, Spectra Radio, radar unit, emergency equipment,
and installation) .
