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.
