City of <br /> Elk - Request for Action <br /> River O. <br /> To Item Number <br /> Mayor and City Council 3.3 <br /> Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br /> Consent September 8, 2014 Bradley R. Rolfe, Chief of Police <br /> Item Description Reviewed by <br /> Purchase of Special Services Sergeant Squad Cal Portner, City Administrator <br /> Reviewed by <br /> Action Requested <br /> Approve,by motion,the purchase and equipping of a 2015 Ford Explorer PUV for use by the Special <br /> Services Sergeant. <br /> Background/Discussion <br /> Council approved the position of Special Services Sergeant in the 2014 budget. The requirements of the <br /> position necessitate a work schedule which frequently overlaps the shifts of other sergeants. As a result, <br /> the Special Services Sergeant is unable to be assigned to a specific supervisor squad. <br /> The job assignment of the Special Services Sergeant requires transportation of crime prevention supplies, <br /> informational displays, speed monitoring trailers, and other equipment. Having a squad specifically <br /> assigned to this sergeant will increase his effectiveness and efficiency. <br /> The police department would like to purchase 2015 Ford Explorer PUV off of the State contract for use <br /> by the Special Services Sergeant. This vehicle is similar to other vehicles in the fleet. <br /> Though this purchase is not in the 2014 capital budget, adequate funds exist in the police forfeiture <br /> account to cover the cost of purchasing, equipping,and setting up this vehicle. <br /> Because this squad will primarily be assigned to one person,its service life is expected to be <br /> approximately seven years. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> Total cost of vehicle purchase, equipment,and set up will not exceed $35,000. All expenses will come <br /> from the police department forfeiture fund. <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ None <br /> P a w E A E U s r <br /> Template Updated 4/14 INIM UREI <br />
