Item No. 15-076
Date: January 26, 2015
Item/Subject: Resolve, Appropriating $76,500 from the General Fund Unassigned
Fund Balance to Purchase and Equip 3 Police Cruisers
Responsible Department: Finance
Commentary:
The attached resolve would appropriate $76,500 from the General Fund unassigned fund
balance to purchase and equip three police cruisers.
Staff received notification of an opportunity to purchase new 2013 Chevrolet Caprice police
package sedans, with full manufacturer warranty from a dealership in MA at a significantly
reduced cost of $18,999 each, which represents a savings of over $8,000 per vehicle when
compared to current year pricing. There will be one-time additional costs to outfit the patrol
cars, with lights/sirens, paint, cages, radio changeover, etc estimated at $6,500 per vehicle.
The Finance Committee reviewed and approved the request to purchase four of these vehicles.
As funding for one vehicle is available from existing TSA Bomb dog grant funds, this resolve will
appropriate the funding for only three patrol vehicles.
On January 12, 2015 the Finance Committee recommended passage of the attached resolve.
