RESOLUTION #2022-126
Authorizing the Police Department to order a police vehicle
WHEREAS, The Monticello Police Department has a rotation to replace vehicle in the Department, and
WHEREAS, The Monticello Police Department is looking to purchase a new patrol vehicle during 2023/2024 Fiscal Year. The lead time from ordering and delivery is approximately 8 months. Police Chief Britt Smith contacted Stiver’s Ford in Waukee, Iowa, who holds the State bid contract. They have multiple units on order that would be available on or just before July 2023, with a purchase price for a new vehicle is approximately $42,358, and
WHEREAS, The City maintains an Equipment Set-a-Side, that the Council approves to transfer funds each year for the purchase of a new police vehicle. With the Fiscal Year 2023 transfer and the proposed Fiscal Year 2024 transfer, there would be enough to purchase the vehicle from the set-a-side funds, and
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Council has reviewed the proposed vehicle request and does hereby approve of the Police Chief to work with Stiver’s Ford and place an order for a new patrol vehicle, to be purchased and paid for after July 1, 2023.
IN THE TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto subscribed my name and caused the Great Seal for the City of Monticello, Iowa to be affixed. Done this 24th day of October, 2022.
