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: November 23, 2020 <br /> <br />TO: Hannah Lynch, Finance Director <br /> <br />FROM: John Swenson, Public Safety Director <br /> <br />RE: Public Safety Fleet <br /> <br />During the Council Work Session on November 2, 2020 members of the City Council <br />requested additional information on the Public Safety fleet. <br />Vehicle Washes: <br />Currently the City staff manually wash vehicles but staff has no equipment to wash the <br />undercarriage of vehicles. <br />Staff has received pricing information from Lakes 1 Stop, Kwik Trip and Holiday Gas <br />Station. Holiday Gas Station is lowest priced option that would provide touch-less <br />washes with under-carriage wash at $5.50. Staff recommends establishing a contract <br />with Holiday for 900 public safety vehicle washes ($4,950). This would afford weekly <br />vehicle washes during the winter months (November through March) and bi-weekly <br />during non-winter months (April through October). <br />Please note that no fire apparatus will be washed through this contract because of the <br />large vehicle size and exposed equipment. <br />Chevrolet Tahoe: <br />Currently the primary platform for public safety vehicles is the Ford Police SUV (Ford <br />Explorer frame). In 2021 we budgeted $50,000 per police vehicle and $45,000 per fire <br />vehicle. This pricing includes purchase of the vehicle, public safety build-out, and <br />vehicle graphics. <br />If we transition to a 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe for public safety vehicles, staff recommends <br />budgeting $56,000. This pricing includes purchase of the vehicle, public safety build-out, <br />and vehicle graphics. <br />
