FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: JANUARY 21, 2020
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE FOR PURCHASE OF POLICE VEHICLE
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider an ordinance to transfer funds from the Crime
Control District Fund for Leases and Rentals to the Capital Equipment
Fund for a vehicle acquisition.
FUNDING SOURCE: Upon approval, funds in an estimated amount of $20,000 will be available
in the Capital Equipment Fund 325-48910-209-000-200001.
BACKGROUND: Funding is currently available in the Crime Control District fund for vehicle
leases (117-44573-209-003) in the amount of $20,000. However, the
Department has determined the purchase of a vehicle, as opposed to a
lease, will provide the required needs of the department at an overall
lower cost.
The vehicle the department will purchase with these funds, in the near
future, will be used for various covert police operations. Upon approval of
the fund transfer, staff will locate a vehicle for purchase and bring it back
to Council for approval.
Fleet Service staff recommends approval.
