REQUEST TO APPROPRIATE ADDITIONAL FUNDING FROM THE
VEHICLE REPLACEMENT FUND FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT

 

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that Council:

• Authorize the appropriation of $14,000 from the City’s Equipment Replacement Fund to the Police Department for the outfitting of five new police vehicles.

 

BACKGROUND

In preparation for the current fiscal year budget, funds were budgeted for the purchase and set-up of police vehicles. While there were sufficient funds to purchase all of the vehicles that were scheduled for replacement, there are not enough funds to pay for the costs associated with the setting-up of each vehicle. These set-up costs include such things as the installation of radios, emergency lighting, consoles, graphics and other associated equipment. Due to higher than anticipated costs associated with the purchase of some of the vehicles and the increased costs of equipment, there are insufficient funds to adequately fund these set-up costs. It is requested that additional funds in the amount of $14,000 be appropriated from the City’s Vehicle Replacement Fund to pay for these additional costs.

 

FISCAL IMPACT

An amount of $14,000 to be appropriated from the Equipment Replacement Fund for the purchase of set-up of police vehicles.
