<br />Memorandum <br /> <br />ITEM #7.2. <br /> <br />-\./ <br /> <br /> <br />To: <br /> <br />. <br />ElI{ <br /> <br />From: <br /> <br />Elk River City Council <br />Assistant Chief Jeff Beahe~ 8.JL- <br />08-03-99 <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />Police Department <br /> <br />Subject: <br /> <br />Replacement squad car <br /> <br />On Tuesday 7-27-99, while returning home from the level three offender <br />meeting, I was involved in a personal injury motor vehicle accident at Armstrong <br />Blvd. and Hwy 10. <br /> <br />Another motor vehicle ran a red light and broad sided my vehicle, causing severe <br />damage to the squad. Insurance adjusters for the other driver and our insurance <br />companies have examined the squad (Unit 607) and declared it to be a total loss. <br /> <br />In addition to the car, most of the emergency equipment on the inside was <br />damaged or destroyed. <br /> <br />We expect a settlement for the vehicle and contents this week. We have sought <br />bids on a replacement car from Saxon Motors and Elk River Ford. The following <br />two cars were given to us as their best available deals: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Elk River Ford <br /> <br />1999 Dodge Intrepid <br /> <br />$18,865.00 <br /> <br />Used 1998 Ford Crown Victoria <br />with miles @20-27,000 <br /> <br />Saxon Motors <br /> <br />1999 Chev Lumina <br /> <br />$16,500.00 <br />$15,900.00 <br /> <br />These prices do not include sales tax. <br /> <br />We estimate the insurance payoff to be around $13-14,000.00 <br /> <br />We will have to spend $4,000.00 to replace the emergency equipment. This will <br />require council approval for the difference between the insurance settlement and <br />the cost of the new vehicle with tax plus the replacement gear. We believe the <br />difference will be approximately $6,933.00. <br /> <br />There are several options for payment of the difference. It could be taken from <br />the police budget if funding allows. It could also be taken from the capital <br />improvement fund. If the police budget does not cover the full amount, the <br />remainder could be taken from the insurance reserves. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway. P.O. Box 723.
