During the state inspection process, the Fleet Maintenance technician failed the vehicle for a number of reasons including: the need for extensive bodywork, rusted brake lines, loose front end parts, and worn out brakes. This vehicle was transferred to Bass Park from Public Works three years ago. The Fleet Maintenance Department has recommended that it would be in the City's best interest to replace this vehicle at an estimated cost of $16,000 - $18,000 instead of spending $3,000+ to repair it. Replacing this vehicle was not anticipated in the FY10 budget. Staff recommendation, based upon the Racino Fund guidelines previously approved by the Council, was to appropriate the necessary funds from the Racino Fund. At the Finance Committee meeting of September 21, 2009, the Committee members indicated their desire to maintain the Racino Fund as is and that the true cost of Bass Park operations be reflected in the annual budget. Therefore, the Committee's recommendation is to transfer the funds for this purchase from the Racino Fund and to include a repayment of said expenditure in the FY2011 Bass Park budget.
