Police Department <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: Pat Klaers <br />FROM: Jeff Beahen <br />DATE: 3-5-03 <br />SUBJECT: Vehicle Forfeiture Update <br /> <br />We have received two more vehicles from DWI forfeiture. The '98 Chevrolet Truck I spoke <br />of earlier has been painted and is awaiting a topper and equipment conversion. This f~rst <br />forfeiture will make a great addition to our fleet in replacement of the '98 Ford CSO vehicle. <br />Phil Hals has agreed to accept the '98 Ford into his fleet and that will take place when the <br />decals are removed, hopefully next week. <br /> <br />We have also received a 1994 Ford pick-up with a rear bed toolbox that is also being given <br />to Public Works for their use. This truck has a value of just over $5,000. <br /> <br />The last vehicle is a '97 Mercury Marquis with a value of $8,800. This vehicle will be <br />auctioned off and the proceeds placed into the forfeiture account. There is also a 94 Pontiac <br />Bonneville that will be auctioned as well that is worth approximately $2,500. <br /> <br />The savings to the City by using the two trucks is significant. That coupled with the <br />additions to our forfeiture account have made the start of 2003 quite prosperous in terms of <br />forfeiture revenue. The bad news is that pretty much depletes our current inventory of <br />seized vehicles. It is very predictable however that more will follow. With the prompt turn <br />around time with our City Prosecutor we hope that this positive trend continues. <br /> <br /> <br />
