Each year the Police Fleet Manager tracks and evaluates the vehicles in the Police Fleet to insure that
the cars used by Police personnel are in proper working order and are capable of completing the police
mission safely and effectively.
For the purpose of efficient management of Police Department resources and to provide a high level of
service to the citizens of Atlantic Beach, the best practice of setting parameters for the replacement of
Police Fleet vehicles has been used with success for many years.
In general, the time frame of seven (7) years and or an average mileage of ninety thousand (90,000)
miles is used to estimate the effective service life of a car in the Police Fleet. The different service and
repair problems a particular vehicle may have experienced during its' service life is always considered as
a factor when recommending when to decommission a vehicle.
The Police Fleet Manager has determined that a minimum of four (4) vehicles should be purchased in FY
2017-2018.
We are requesting approval to immediately begin the purchase process for four (4) police vehicles.
RECOMMENDATION:
For the Commission to authorize by proclamation the expenditure of budgeted police funds from
accounts 001-2001-521-64-01 and 001-2002-521-64-01 for vehicles that may individually exceed
$25,000.
