BACKGROUND
This fiscal year, two Police 4x4 Patrol vehicles, umt 4112 and unit 4111, were damaged
requiring contract dealer repairs Unit 4112 sustained front -end frame and body damage,
which was repaired at a cost of approximately $2600 00 The vehicle is now back in
service Unit 4111 was towed to the dealer from the beach, because saltwater had entered
the engine compartment and it would not start Upon inspection by the dealer, it was
found that saltwater and sand were in the engine cylinders Initial repairs, to remove sand
and water from engine and transmission were at $1400 00 At this point, upon review of
salvage value and auction value, Fleet Services authorized limiting further repairs to the
cost of readying the vehicle for auction This was an additional $1500 00 needed for
electrical repairs, for a total of $2900 00 for the second vehicle It is expected that Unit
4111 can be auctioned for $5,000 to $6,000 where prior to repairs, its estimate value was
less than $1,000 These costs were not covered in the annual budget because it was
beyond the normal scope of preventative maintenance

001 - 050 -44000 be increased by $5,500 The current estimated fiscal year ending
undesignated general fund balance is $3,815,869 Approval of this budget amendment
