AGENDA TITLE: Donation of Retired Police Patrol Car to San Joaquin County Sheriffs
Jail Industries Program
MEETING DATE: June 20, 2001
PREPARED BY: Police Chief/Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the donation of a retired police patrol car to
the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Jail Industries Program.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Sheriffs Jail Industries Program employees Honor Farm
inmates to provide auto bodywork, painting, and other automotive
repair services to various government entities at substantially
discounted prices. In turn, jail inmates are taught various vocation
skills in an attempt to prevent recidivism. This program has been beneficial to the City of Lodi in that high-
quality repainting and bodywork has been received on a number of City vehicles at relatively low cost.
The director of the Honor Farm's Auto Body Shop has asked that the City donate a 1992 Ford Crown
Victoria, #05-069, for spare parts purposes. The vehicle has been used as a part source for a number of
years by the City's Fleet Services Shop and has little auction value. Enough parts remain, however, that
the Honor Farm would benefit from receiving this vehicle. This would enhance a mutually -beneficial
working relationship.
FUNDING: No City funds will be expended to accomplish this project beyond the administrative
personnel costs that would be expended for any vehicle disposition. The Honor Farm will
arrange for transport of the vehicle.
