2 <br /> <br />a vehicle can be replaced later or may need to be replaced earlier than the schedule calls for. <br />Any request for replacing vehicles must be cost-justified to the City Administrator and City <br />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. miles of use <br />b. useful life <br />c. cost of maintenance <br />d. overall condition (mechanical, operating, safety, and appearance) <br />e. downtime <br />f. availability of replacement parts <br />g. funding <br /> <br />The guideline for vehicles considered for replacement is primarily based on 100,000 miles of <br />use, but additional consideration is given to age, functionality, and overall condition of the <br />vehicle. As vehicles reach the 100,000 mile threshold, maintenance evaluations will be <br />performed by the Public Services Director and Mechanic. If the evaluation indicates the vehicle <br />would be economical to retain for an additional year, the vehicle will be retained. Depending on <br />the availability of funds, vehicles will be replaced when they are at the end of their economic <br />life, no longer safe to operate, not reliable enough to perform their intended function, or there is a <br />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 />Adopted by the City Council on April 10, 2017
