A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
DELEGATING AUTHORITY TO THE CITY MANAGER TO PURCHASE POLICE VEHICLES
EXCEEDING $45,000 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022-23
WHEREAS, Dublin Police Services manages a fleet of 40 police vehicles, including 14
unmarked vehicles, and 26 marked vehicles for patrol, crime prevention, and school resource
officers; and
WHEREAS, to ensure reliability and to minimize repair expenses, the City reviews these
vehicles after three years of service and/or 75,000 miles for replacement with the most appropriate
vehicles to maintain Dublin Police Services operations; and
WHEREAS, due to increased costs, it is expected the procurement of new and replacement
vehicles will likely exceed the City Manager's purchasing limit of $45,000; and
WHEREAS, due to supply chain shortages and reduced vehicle and equipment availability
at various dealerships, the purchasing process has become time sensitive; and
WHEREAS, with the City Council's delegation of authority to the City Manager to make
vehicle purchases over $45,000, Staff will be able to work with dealerships to quickly purchase
the appropriate vehicles as they are available; and
WHEREAS, such purchases will be made in accordance with the vehicle replacement
schedule and the availability of funds in the Internal Service Fund budget.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that City Council approves delegation of
purchasing authority for police vehicles over $45,000 to the City Manager in Fiscal Year 2022-23.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that upon placing the new vehicles in service, the replaced
vehicles are declared surplus property and the City Manager and/or her designee shall be
authorized to arrange for their auction in accordance with state and local laws and regulations.
