CITY COUNCIL <br />AGENDA ITEM 4A <br /> <br /> <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: John Swenson, Public Safety Director <br /> <br />MEETING DATE: December 10, 2018 <br /> <br />TOPIC: Replacement of Vehicle 390 <br /> <br />VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 <br /> <br /> <br />INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />Through the vehicle forfeiture process an opportunity to replace vehicle 390 has been become <br />available. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />As part of the 2018 and 2019 budget discussion the replacement of vehicle #390 was evaluated <br />per the City’s Vehicle Replacement policy and it was determined that this vehicle would not be <br />replaced. <br /> <br />An opportunity has become available to replace vehicle #390 (2009 Toyota Corolla) with a <br />vehicle that has been obtained through the vehicle forfeiture process. The current mileage for <br />vehicle #390 is 112,851 miles (November 26, 2018). <br /> <br />The vehicle available to the City to replace vehicle #390 is a 2017 Jeep Cherokee with 8,188 <br />miles. This vehicle has been inspected by the City Mechanic and found to be in good working <br />order. <br /> <br />If the Council elects to move forward with this vehicle replacement, the use of forfeiture funds <br />is authorized use as defined by state law and Federal Equitable Sharing Rules. Use of <br />forfeiture funds in this manner would result in an estimated future City general fund savings of <br />$25,000 to $30,000. The total amount of forfeiture dollars that would be used for this vehicle <br />replacement would be approximately $6,000 (vehicle registration, tax, and emergency <br />equipment). <br /> <br />Attached is a photo of vehicle #390 as well as the 2017 Jeep Cherokee. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />Staff recommends the Council approve replacing vehicle 390 (2009 Toyota Corolla) with a <br />2017 Jeep Cherokee (VIN 1C4PJMCSXHW636191) obtained through the vehicle forfeiture <br />process. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br /> <br />Photo of 2017 Jeep Cherokee &Vehicle 390 (2009 Toyota Corolla)
