SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING PAYMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF
$100,000 FROM PROJECT CI2113 - AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT
FOR THE PURCHASE OF VEHICLES, AS AUTHORIZED BY SECTION
603(C)(1)(C) OF THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT AND U.S.

SUMMARY:
This Resolution authorizes payment in the amount of $100,000 for the purchase of
police or administrative vehicles. This payment is authorized by section 603 (c)(1)(C) of
the American Rescue Plan Act and U.S. Treasury Final Rule 31 CFR 35.6.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Not applicable to this Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
ARPA authorized a revenue replacement calculation that would allow state and local
governments to use a portion of ARPA allocation for governmental
vehicle fleet contains many old and high-mileage vehicles. The Fleet Department will
use these funds to replace old and high mileage police or administrative vehicles,
whichever it deems most necessary for the continued efficient operation of the city
departments.
The cost for a Police Interceptor Unit is $68,890. The cost for administrative vehicles
ranges from $29,000 each for Ford Escapes and $38,500 for Ford Explorers. Any
amounts remaining after purchase of the vehicles will be used to outfit the new vehicles
as needed. The
administrative vehicles may need light bars or other equipment installed depending on
the use of the vehicle.
The City typically uses a portion of the Public Safety Sales Tax to purchase new police
vehicles every year to replace high mileage or damaged vehicles in the fleet. Sales tax
revenues are down for 2024. Accordingly, there are insufficient funds in the Public
Safety Sales Tax to allow for the purchase of the needed vehicles. These ARPA funds
were made available after City Council declined to move forward on the City-County
Childcare Center Project at the December 9, 2024 City Council meeting and need to be
re-obligated by December 31, 2024. There is not enough time to develop a new
project. The vehicles have previously been identified as a need for 2025 and are
subject to a state purchasing contract dispensing with the need to send them out to bid.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding in the amount of $100,000 will be paid out of Project Cl2113 - American
Rescue Plan.
denial of the intergovernmental agreement and funding for the City-County Childcare
Center Project.
