AGENDA REPORT City Manager
Finance Director N/A
MEETING DATE: April 19, 2011
TO: WILLIAM A. HUSTON, INTERIM CITY MANAGER
FROM: SCOTT M. JORDAN, CHIEF OF POLICE
SUBJECT: POLICE DEPARTMENT VEHICLE EXCHANGE
SUMMARY
The Police Department currently has two older, as-used vehicles that were rotated out
of the patrol division. These two vehicles supplement our patrol fleet and are currently
used by the department's School Resource Officer, Community Resource Officers and
Police Cadets. The vehicles are 2003 Ford Crown Victorias. The department would like
to retire the two existing Ford Crown Victorias and exchange them with two 2006 Ford
Crown Victorias, recently taken out of service in the patrol division. The newer vehicles
have significantly less mileage and wear and tear than the older models and were
chosen as replacements based on recommendations of the Field Services Maintenance
Supervisor in charge of the oversight of fleet condition.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize:
The utilization of two vehicles recently rotated out of the patrol division as
replacements for two older vehicles currently in use. The two vehicles the
department would like to use include: (1) 2006 Ford Crown Victoria, VIN
#2FAFP71W66X131659, former patrol unit #3407. (2) 2006 Ford Crown Victoria,
VIN #2FAFP71W26X13660, former patrol unit #3416.
2. The Public Works/Field Services Department to dispose of the two retired
vehicles at the next available public auction and credit net proceeds to applicable
City Revenue Fund. The two retired vehicles include: (1) 2003 Ford Crown
Victoria, VIN #2FAHP71WX3X171294, former unit #3493. (2) 2003 Ford Crown
Victoria, VIN #2FAHP71WX63X171292, former unit #3496.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no significant fiscal impact. The two vehicles the Police Department would like
to utilize are already owned by the City of Tustin. Replacing the vehicles currently in use
with newer vehicles will reduce maintenance costs associated with the vehicles. The
retired vehicles will be sold at public auction and the net proceeds will be credited to the
applicable City Revenue Fund.
