Resolution 8226, Approving Purchase of One 2014 Ford Police Interceptor <br />Utility Vehicle and One 2014 Chevy Impala Sedan Administrative Vehicle <br />and Equipment Setups. <br /> <br />Police Chief Kinney requested the Council approve the purchase of one 2014 Ford Police <br />Interceptor Utility vehicle and one 2014 Chevy Impala Sedan administrative vehicle, along with <br />equipment setups. He indicated he had budgeted $66,000 for the purchase of these two vehicles. <br />The Police Department vehicle replacement plan was reviewed in further detail with the Council. <br />It was noted a 2008 police vehicle would be auctioned off. <br /> <br />Finance Director Beer explained the City would have to pay taxes on the administrative vehicle <br />and could consider using forfeiture funds to assist with the purchase of both police vehicles. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty asked how the City could use forfeiture funds. Police Chief Kinney commented <br />that these funds have been used for firearms, vehicle purchases and for traffic related expenses <br />for the Police Department. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller questioned if the police department had an estimate for the equipment <br />upgrades needed for the new Ramsey County Dispatch system. Police Chief Kinney anticipated <br />he would have a better handle on these expenses before he submitted his 2015 budget in June of <br />this year. He stated a new records management program may be needed for the department as <br />well. <br />
