FROM: Dave Ross, Police Chief
DATE: February 18, 2025
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2025-18 - Authorizing the Use of the Fleet Replacement
Fund for the Purchase of Equipment to Upfit Three New Police Vehicles.
Resolution 2024-48 previously authorized the purchase of three Ford Police Interceptors (SUVs)

The total anticipated cost to upfit the three vehicles is anticipated to be less than $45,000 and this
resolution would authorize the use of the Fleet Replacement Fund up to that amount.
Thank you for your consideration.
