Fund revenues.
Bumper to bumper extended warranties will expire October 1, 1993.
The cost of all repairs is covered by warranty but will become
the responsibility of the city in October 1993. If the vehicles

major types of repairs will become a significant cost to the city
in order to continue to have a dependable fleet of marked
emergency vehicles.
As of March 1993, the following police vehicles had the below
listed mileage and will be approaching 80,000 on the dates
indicated:

replacement of Police vehicles should be the result of a
competitive bid. In addition to the vehicle itself,
consideration will be given to the cost/benefit of buying an
extended, bUmper to bumper. warranty/service 9ackage for each
vehicle.
The cost of transferring and replacing all radio and emergency
equipment will include the purchase of new radio pedestals and
new emergency light bars for both vehicles. The pedestals are
required to insure that all marked police vehicles are uniformly
equipped. The existing emergency light bars are now seven years
old and are in need replacement. They have begun to experience
an increase in mechanical breakdowns. In addition, they need to
have all lenses replaced due to oxidation from the elements. The
costs also includes the purchase and installation of a push bar
for one of the new vehicles, which will be assigned as a traffic
enforcement vehicle.
Each vehicle will require two city decals, striping and
lettering.
