CITY OF LvDI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE:
MEETING DATE:
PREPARED BY:
Donation of Retired Vehicle to City of lone
February 16, 2000
Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the donation of a retired Police Department
Crown Victoria to the City of lone and authorize the City Manager to
facilitate the contribution.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City of lone contacted the City of Lodi recently to ask whether
any surplus vehicles might be available (see attached letter).
Several of their vehicles are in very bad shape mechanically, and
break down frequently. They have no budgeted funds for
replacements, and their Fire Department desperately needs a sedan to replace a van that is "on its last legs".
The City of Lodi has several retired Ford Crown Victorias that will soon be scheduled to be sent to
auction. The value of a retired Crown Victoria, based on moneys received for similar cars, is
approximately $2,500. The request was discussed by the General Fleet Management Committee, who
recommend that one surplus vehicle be donated.
The Police Fleet Coordinator and the Fleet Manager have reviewed the surplus patrol cars and have
selected the best one available, a 1995 unit with 92,082 miles and $11,785 in accumulated repair and
maintenance costs. All emergency equipment and 2 -way radios have already been removed and
reinstalled on the new patrol car that took this one's place. The City of lone will be responsible to equip
and repaint the car.
FUNDING: None required.

Dear Mr. Callahan:
City of lone
JAN 1 _ (i : i
The City of Ione would like to ask for any assistance that your city might be able to provide to us
in obtaining surplus vehicles from your fleet.
The City is currently in need of vehicles to replace our Fire Department's staff cars that are
currently on their "last leg" and very close to being unsafe to drive at all.
The City's budget is small and does not allow us to replace these vehicles at the present time.
We would like to thank you in advance for any help or assistance that you and the City of Lodi
may be able to provide to our City.
Alan J. Bengyel
City Administrator
