AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. q
For Meeting of August 17,2010
ITEM TITLE: Consideration of a Resolution Declaring Certain Used Police Vehicles Surplus and
Authorizing the City Manager to allow for the Sale or Auction of these Vehicles.
SUBMITTED BY: Chief Granato, Police Department
CONTACT PERSON/TELEPHONE: Capt. Jeff Schneider, 575-6151
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The Police Department has twelve used vehicles which are no longer fit for police service. All of
these vehicles are in poor condition; some are wrecked or have bad engines. Police Department
studies have shown maintenance costs for these older police vehicles are three times that than for
newer vehicles. Continuing to operate and maintain any of these vehicles would be a significant
cost for the Department as they are nearing major engine and/or transmission replacement. The
Department requests that these vehicles be declared surplus, removed from our inventory, and
sold or auctioned.
