SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING PROJECT NUMBER PST2202, AND
AUTHORIZING THE TRANSFER OF $1,078,000 FROM THE PUBLIC
SAFETY SALES TAX ACCOUNT INTO PROJECT NUMBER PST2202
FOR THE PURPOSE OF PURCHASING NEW MARKED POLICE
VEHICLES
SUMMARY:
This resolution establishes Project No. PST2202 to purchase thirteen (13) marked
police vehicles and upfit them with the required emergency equipment. These vehicles
will be marked and upfitted police supervisor vehicles.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On May 29, 2018, Council passed Ordinance No. 9280 which approved the purchase of
27 new marked police units from the Public Safety Sales Tax Fund.
BACKGROUND:
This project will dedicate 2B funds to be used towards the purchase of thirteen (13)
marked units that will replace thirteen currently marked supervisor units. The current
supervisor units are at least ten years old and are at the end of their life with some of
them having already been decommissioned.
The primary reason is high maintenance costs. These are older units with mechanical
issues that can no longer be trusted for police use. The age, the high mileage and the
type of heavy consistent use these vehicles endure cause wear and tear on the marked
units. The repair costs on these older units are expensive and a new police unit would
not require the same high level of repair costs.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The total cost of this project is $1,078,000.00. This project is being funded in the
following manner. The addition of the 13 marked units will be purchased with PSST,
Public Safety Sales Tax, funds in the amount of $872,352.00. An additional $205,648
of PSST funds is needed to upfit the vehicles for marked patrol use.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not applicable.
ALTERNATIVES:
If City Council does not approve this Resolution, the project will be cancelled. Not
having the correct number of marked units available for staffing levels will have a direct
impact on calls for service, causing an increase of call volume due to slower response
times and may have a detrimental impact on public safety.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Resolution.
