Police Department <br /> <br /> Memorandum <br />To: Mayor and City Council <br />From: Thomas D. Zerwas, Chief of Police <br />Date: August 24, 2000 <br /> <br />Subject: PURCHASE OF 2001 <br /> CHEVROLET SUBURBAN <br /> <br />The patrol sergeants have requested that the city council authorize the <br />purchase of a 2001 Chevrolet Suburban for their use. This vehicle <br />would be a multi-purpose vehicle used by the sergeants for normal <br />patrol functions, utilized when needed by the department during <br />snowstorms and for S.W.A.T. deployment when necessary. <br /> <br />I agree with the sergeants' request for this vehicle and recommend that <br />this purchase be allowed. For a new police vehicle with necessary <br />equipment and set-up, it would normally cost approximately thirty <br />thousand dollars ($30,000.00). I would suggest, if the council <br />approves the purchase of a Suburban, that you authorize up to thirty <br />thousand dollars ($30,000.00). We would fund the remaining costs <br />out of our drug forfeiture account. This would be an appropriate use <br />for these funds, as most S.W.A.T. call outs are drug related. <br /> <br />If you have any questions about this recommendation, give me a call. <br /> <br />TDZ/kma <br /> <br />13065 Or0n0 Parkway · P.O.
