At heir last meeting, <br /> the CIP Committee agreed to defer the three year acquisition of two <br /> marked police patrol vehicles. Due to budgetary constraints, the <br /> Conimittee considered a replacement program that would allow the <br /> department to lease/purchase nine vehicles. The vehicle replacement plan <br /> of the Police Department requests eleven lease/purchase vehicles in F Y07. <br /> The Chief discussed the importance of maintaining a long term program in <br /> accord with his department's vehicle replacement plan. Following the <br /> initial three year usage,the vehicles would be rotated and used by the <br /> department for an additional three years. <br /> The program includes commitment to the second year of a gree-year <br /> lease/purchase program for seven marked police patrol vehicles and the <br /> first of a to-year acquisition of two marked patrol vehicles. <br /> It was noted that repairs are costly and the replacement program is deemed <br /> detrimental to the operation and safety of the department. <br />
