othing at this time.
:ity Administrator explained the police department
ias currently three police cars that are old highway
ratrol cars, we took a look at the present lease
.greement we have with the bank, and the price of
,he lease cars on state contract price, and it was
letermined it would be feasible for the City to pro-
ure the three additional police cars for the cap-
ain and the two detectives. Next year if the cars
,ould go up in price which I would assume that the
ental agreement would go up, those cars could be
etained for the following two years at a lower
rice, those cars are basically not used as much as
patrol car so, therefore, the captain, the two de-
ectives, the police and fire chief's cars conceiv-
bly could be kept for 4,5,6 years because they are
aintained and they don't collect that much millage,
e do have a commitment for 10 of the present police
ars next year to be sold, so we are guaranteed a
ale of ten and that would only leave four addition-
1 cars so if we kept the additional four cars
e would still gain on it because of the price of i
he rental agreement, so we are recommending that
he Council allow us to get the additional 3 cars.
