TO: The Honorable City Council '
FROM: Kenneth C. Gilbert, Director of Public Works
DATE: January 17, 1991 (Council Meeting 1-23-91)
SUBJECT: Acquisition of a General Use Vehicle
OVERVIEW
This requests approval of the purchase of a pool car.
DISCUSSION
The performance of many of the duties of City staff require the
use of a vehicle. City owned trucks are provided to maintenance
and operations personnel. Travel allowances are provided to
management personnel for such expenses. These provisions do not
fully address the needs in this area.
There are a number of tasks performed by other employees for
which no vehicle has been provided. These tasks include errands
(i.e. mail delivery bank deposits, etc. ) , travel (i. e.
training, meetings, etc. ) and more.
Initially the "pool" vehicle will also be made available to the
Code Enforcement Technician. As you recall, funds were included
in the FY 1990/91 Budget for the acquisition of a four-wheel
drive vehicle. To date the quoted purchase prices for a new
vehicle of this type, exceed the amount budgeted. Staff is
researching the possibility of acquiring this vehicle through
the State or County Cooperative Purchasing Program. When
acquired, the four-wheel drive vehicle will also be made
available for certain activities related to the City's disaster
services program. Even subsequent to delivery of the four-wheel
drive vehicle, the occasional use of the "pool" vehicle by Code
Enforcement personnel will reduce the need to use the four-wheel
drive vehicle for routine activities.

General Use Vehicle

It is anticipated that a low-milage, used, mid-sized car would
cost between $9,000 and $12,000. Using the Kelly Blue Book
wholesale price as a guide, such a vehicle could be acquired
from available stock of an automobile dealer in the area. The
cost can be shared between the General Fund and the Community
Development Fund to reflect anticipated use by other than
General Fund funded activities.
RECOMMENDATION
It is the recommendation of Staff that the City Council take the
following actions:
o approve the transfer of $9,000 from the General Fund
Reserve and $3 ,000 from the Community Development Fund
Reserve;
o appropriate $12,000 in Account # 01-117-904 for the
acquisition of a "pool" vehicle;
o authorize the City Manager to proceed with the acquisition
of said vehicle in accordance with the City's purchasing
procedures; and,
o direct the Finance Department to allocate the final total
purchase price of the vehicle as follows:
75% -- General Fund;
25% -- Community Development Fund.
