Agenda Item #3 <br /> <br />ONE VISION. ONE MISSION. LINO LAKES PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Lino Lakes Public <br />Safety Department <br />Memo <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />DATE: October 10, 2016 <br /> <br />TO: Members of the City Council <br /> <br />FROM: John Swenson, Public Safety Director <br /> <br />RE: Public Safety Fleet Replacement <br /> <br />Police Division: <br /> <br />During previous Council discussions of the police division fleet replacement schedule, <br />Mayor Reinert and Council Member Rafferty recalled previous Council direction to staff <br />that police fleet replacement was to be on a four-year rotation. Members of staff do not <br />recall this Council direction, therefore; staff has searched the minutes from previous <br />Council meetings and have not found any direction from the Council moving to four-year <br />replacement schedule. <br /> <br />As requested, staff has created a police fleet replacement schedule for discussion and <br />consideration utilizing a four-year replacement schedule. A four-year replacement <br />schedule would result in the purchase of six vehicles in one year of the four-year cycle <br />and five vehicles purchased in remaining three years of the four-year cycle; with the <br />current police fleet inventory. <br /> <br />Given the historical mileage of our patrol vehicles average over 19,000 miles per year, <br />with a four-year replacement schedule our patrol vehicles mileage will be likely be <br />between 76,000 to 80,000. Some considerations with a four-year cycle are: <br /> Ability to re-purpose vehicles for use in Fire Division or other City use. <br /> Potential of increased repair costs. <br /> Potential of increased demands on the City’s mechanic. <br /> <br />Attached to this memo is four-year replacement schedule for all twenty-one police <br />vehicles.
