These vehicles would be purchased under the State contract and this amount includes all of the necessary additional equipment (light bars, sirens, etc). REASONS: Through the hard work and dilligence of the Police Chief, we will be able to purchase eleven of these thirteen new vehicles using Forfeiture Funds. We have looked' at the current market prices of these cars and the State Contract is still the best total package (car and equipment). We tried buying locally last year with very mixed results. We are going to try again this year on most of the vehicles, we will monitor the situation more closely, and make a decision next year based on these results. As part of the purchase of these thirteen new cars, we will be selling thirteen vehicles (most Police vehicles will be sold, a few will go to other departments, and in turn their older vehicles will be sold), and five vehicles will be returned to the rental agency. FUNDING SOURCE: Two cars ($63,979.50) will come out of the operating budget of General Fund Account 10-700-5152, and eleven cars ($350,434.40) will be purchased by transfering monies from Forfeiture Fund Cash Account 60-101-608 into the 10-700-5212 account.
