Exhibit A
Increase: Equipment Replacement Fund - Motor Vehicles
123,412
Explanation:
The Police Department has four Crown Victoria vehicles that are scheduled for
replacement on the FY 15 -16 Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Schedule.
Upon replacement, these assets will be sold at auction. While preparing the
budget for FY 15 -16, a quote was solicited with estimated pricing effective on
October 1, 2015. The estimate that the City received was $37,000 each; which is
approximately 20% higher than current pricing. According to the vendor, this is
because of supply and demand and that he thinks the price will go back down the
following year. It was determined that four 2015 Chevy Tahoe's are currently
available for $30,753 each —an approximate savings of $25,000 over the expected
2016 pricing. The Fleet Manager, affected Directors and City Manager believe that
the $25,000 in savings is significant enough to present to Council and attempt to
purchase the 2015 models in the current FY 14 -15 vs. waiting and purchasing the
2016 models at a higher cost in the scheduled FY 15 -16. The related vehicle
equipment consisting of light bars, radios, computers, etc., would not be
purchased until the 15 -16 budget year and the vehicles would not be placed into
service until that time. Monies for the purchase of the vehicles are available
from "lease payments" already made from General Fund to the Equipment
Replacement Fund in the amount of $84,144. The final year of lease payments for
the vehicles will be made next year in FY 15 -16 totaling $16,752. The remaining
$22,696 to cover the balance of the purchase would be able to come from Fund
306 itself from monies received from auction sales.
