Council Agenda Item a
MEETING DATE: February 3, 2011
AGENDA ITEM Squad Car Replacement
SUBMITTED BY: Police Department Police Chief Pete Jansky
BOARD /COMMISSION /COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Currently the police department leases their patrol vehicles. We lease
for 4 yrs /100,000 miles. Currently we are set to replace unit 703 which is a 2008 Ford Crown Victoria
with approx. 72,000 miles.
I have two vehicles that I have for comparison. The Ford Crown Vic on a lease of 4yrs /90,000miles for
552.75 per month. The Chevrolet Tahoe 2wheel drive patrol vehicle on a lease of 4yrs /90,000miles for
670.43 per month. The difference in cost between the two per year is approx. $1412.16. 1 budgeted at
the current rate since we did not have the new lease numbers at budget time. There is enough in the
budget to cover this expense.
I have done some analyses on gas mileage along with some other facts that I will share with you at the
meeting.
BUDGET /FISCAL IMPACT:
ATTACHMENTS: None
$6,633.00/$8,045.16 per year.
REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION: Replace current patrol car with Chev Tahoe.
