Introduction
The 2004 Internal Service Fund budget contains an appropriation request for the
purchase of four squad cars.
Background
The 2004 budget includes an appropriation of $133,100.00 for the purchase of 4
squad cars. Funding is from the Capital Equipment Internal Service Fund. The
vendor cost last year was $21,033.00 without extended warranty. Three new cars
will replace models purchased in 2000. The four 2000 models in the fleet have
mileage as follows: 100,972, 103,546, 93,482 and 85,070 currently. Staff
recommends keeping the lowest mileage car and the other three will be passed
down or sold at auction. One car is an addition to the fleet. Additional costs
include graphics, communications conversion and other equipment. The City
mechanic recommends an extended warranty of 3 Yrs/75,OOO miles due to axle
