Background: Vehicle #14-070 is a 4X4 Dodge half-ton pickup truck that is scheduled for replacement in FY07/08 with a "like" vehicle. The ideal replacement for this vehicle, for a variety of reasons not identified at the time the budget was completed, would be a full size SUV, such as an Expedition or Yukon. Fleet is estimating that this would cost $6,581 more than the scheduled replacement cost.
Reason for Recommendation: The Sheriff is requesting transferring Rural County savings associated with the AVL project to Fleet Management's budget to cover the cost of the increase. The change in vehicle would increase our ability to conduct covert surveillance operations and will be assigned to a SWAT member who has his equipment with him for more rapid deployment capabilities.
General Services, Fleet Management Division, has submitted to the Sheriff the actual vehicle upgrade and replacement/purchase costs for fiscal year 2007-2008. Savings realized in the purchase of a full size utility 4X4 is being offset against the increased cost of upgrading two (2) patrol sedans.
Action to be taken following Board approval: The Chair will sign the Budget Transfer Request form and the Auditor will post it.
