DATE: MARCH 4, 1980
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: City Manager
POLICE VEHICLES
Recommendation
That Council appropriate $72,000 from Contingency (General Fund) to
purchase 12 police patrol cars.
Discussion
The 1978-79 budget provided funds to purchase 4 police cars. They
were orde~ed in March, 1979 and placed in service in June. In June
the Council appropriated additional funds for 7 police cars which
were placed in service between June and September.
No funds were appropriated in the 1979-80 budget because it was believed
we would not need additional cars during the fiscal year. Generally,
that is true. The current cars will probably last through June 30, 1980.
However, the City needs to order additional cars now in order to have
them available after July, 1980.
Ordering cars now will permit us to take advantage of the lower price
per unit throDgh state procurement. State purchasing will cost $6,000
per vehicle. Purchasing through local auto dealers would cost $7,500
per vehicle.
Alternate
1. Budget for replacement in 1980-81 Fiscal Year and purchase through
local dealer at a higher cost. ~he savings to City by ordering now
would be $12,000 -$18,000.
2. Do not purchase new patrol cars until existing units break down.
This would increase maintenance costs.
Policy Issues
The present policy is to replace police cars at around 70,000 miles when
maintenance costs become excessive. The decision on when to replace
each unit is made by the Vehicle Maintenance Superintendent based upon
actual maintenance records.
The police fleet now consists of 24 vehicles -12 patrol cars and 12
other vehicles (see attached list).
Fiscal Impact
Ordering vehicles now will save $12,000 -$18,000
an unknown amount in additional maintenance cost.
$72,000 the unappropriated reserve fund will have
