2 <br /> <br />replaced earlier than the schedule calls for. Any request for replacing vehicles must be cost- <br />justified to the City Administrator and City Council. <br /> <br />6. Guidelines and Procedures <br /> <br />The Police Division has inventoried existing vehicles and has prepared a replacement schedule <br />for police vehicles. The schedule will be updated annually and will be used as the basis for <br />planning for the replacement of vehicles through the annual budget. Each vehicle recommended <br />for replacement will include the following information: <br /> <br />a. Age in years, also known as life <br />b. Miles of use <br />c. Useful life (based on commonly used standards for police vehicles) <br />d. Cost of maintenance <br />e. Overall condition (mechanical, operating, safety, and appearance) <br />f. Downtime <br />g. Availability of replacement parts <br />h. Funding <br /> <br />The guidelines for vehicles considered for replacement are based on 60 months of age or 100,000 <br />miles of use, but additional consideration is given to functionality and overall condition of the <br />vehicle. As vehicles reach this threshold for age or miles, a vehicle maintenance evaluation will <br />be performed by the Public Services Director and Mechanic. If the evaluation indicates the <br />vehicle would be economical to retain for an additional year, the vehicle will be retained. <br />Depending on the availability of funds, vehicles will be replaced when they are at the end of their <br />economic life, no longer safe to operate, not reliable enough to perform their intended function, <br />or there is a demonstrated cost savings to the City of Lino Lakes. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Final Draft Completed 12/08/16
