Good
evening
horrible
mayor
and
members
of
City
Council,
Martin
Cardone
water
services
manager,
but
tonight
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
the
central
garage
I'm
here
tonight,
to
recommend
the
purchase
of
one
parking
enforcement
vehicle
for
municipal
maintenance
equipment
in
for
2011
ford

The
police
department's
2010
11
budget
includes
the
replacement
of
two
more
patrol
vehicles
and
the
replacement
of
a
parking
enforcement
video.
The
police
department
has
historically
used
the
staggered
schedule
for
both
parking
and
reduce
expenditures.
B
Department's
most
recently
delayed
purchase
the
parking
enforcement
vehicle
in
2010
when
both
vehicles
are
taken
out
of
service
and
only
one
replacement
was
purchased.
The
staff
now
recommends
proceeding
with
replacement
of
the
second
vehicle.
The
patrol
vehicles
scheduled
for
replacement
range
from
2003
to
2005
model
years.
These
vehicles
experienced
an
average
of
stop-and-go
mara-jul
or
1,300
miles
per
month.
Patrol
vehicles
are
subject
to
harsh
driving
conditions,
including
emergency
response
to
calls
the
pursuit
driving
they're,
often
placed
in
service
24
hours
per
day
seven
days
per
week.
B
B
The
2010-11
budget
includes
funds
for
the
placement
of
two
of
the
patrol
vehicles.
However,
with
Ford's
recent
announcement
that
it
will
end
production
of
the
crown
victoria
police
cars
used
by
the
department
for
many
years,
staff
recommends
the
purchase
of
two
additional
cars
to
allow
time
for
the
city
to
prepare
for
the
conversion
to
the
next
generation
of
police.
Via.
There
are
several
advantages
to
purchasing
two
additional
vehicles
in
projecting
the
mileage.
B
We
believe
will
have
to
ask
for
two
at
least
two
additional
vehicles
next
fiscal
year
purchasing
the
two
cars
now
allows
us
to
continue
to
transfer
emergency
equipment
such
as
light
bars,
computer
mounts,
rear
seat
screens,
gun
mounts,
etc
from
the
old
cars
and
have
it
fit
the
new
vehicles
they're
the
same
models
stop
awful,
also
inquired
to
see
if
other
manufacturers
of
plea
vehicles
or
Ford's
replacement
would
be
advantageous.
We
are
not
aware
of
any
fuel
efficiency
or
green
capabilities
coming
for
next
year.
B
There's
no
significant
fuel
economy
difference
in
the
crown
victoria
is
a
flex-fuel
capable.
The
Municipal
Code
allows
for
the
city
to
join
the
South
San
Francisco
bid,
which
is
less
than
the
state
bid.
The
department's
normal
request
for
to
mark
vehicles
in
the
proposed
2011-2012
budget
will
be
eliminated.
Accelerating
the
veal
purchase
at
this
time
meets
the
department's
vehicle
requirements
through
June
of
2012.
The
acquisition
of
the
two
additional
vehicles
requires
a
city
council
to
appropriate
in
additional
thirty
six
thousand
seven
hundred
from
the
general
funds,
undesignated
fund,
balance,
dancers.
B
B
And
use
it
for
parking
enforcement
they're
using
a
pickup
truck
right
now,
and
it's
just
you
know:
they'd
have
to
get
out
on
the
driver's
side,
which
would
be
in
traffic,
walk
around
the
vehicle
and
then
mark
the
tires
and
do
the
tickets.
And
if
the
three
wheeler
now
the
gopher,
if
that's
out
of
service,
then
have
to
use
another
pickup
truck
to
do
not
only
the
street
sweeping
but
also
the
downtown
parking
enforcement.
