CITY COUNCIL <br />REGULAR MEETING STAFF REPORT <br />AGENDA ITEM 3F <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Dave Pecchia, Interim City Administrator <br />MEETING DATE: January 13, 2025 <br />TOPIC: Police Fleet Replacement Purchase <br />VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority <br />INTRODUCTION <br />At the January 6, 2025 City Council Work Session, the City Council reviewed and forwarded for <br />formal action the request for funding for the purchase of three Tahoe's. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The 2023 budget included a capital police fleet replacement budget of $60,610 per unit to <br />replace four retiring police units. At that time the department placed an order for three Tahoe <br />vehicles with North Country GM. The order was delayed to 2024 due to a significant <br />manufacturing delay. There was a resulting cost increase for both the vehicles and cost to fully <br />equip each unit. The current price is $50,067 per unit and $22,133.13 per unit equipment cost <br />for a total of $72,700 per unit. The total increase is $36,270 for three vehicles over the 2023 <br />budgeted amount. It is being requested this evening that the police fleet capital budget be <br />amended to cover this cost. The alternative would have been to cancel the order as a price hold <br />was not available between the model years. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Motion to amend the 2023 Police Fleet Capital amount for three Tahoe's to $72,700 per unit, <br />for a total increase of $36,270 over the original budget. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />None <br />Page 111 <br />
