Page 2 We have already received a damage payment of $4,634.27 from the accident and we have received a trade - in offer of$I,200 from Boyer Ford for our current vehicle. With these reductions the cost of the new vehicle is reduced to $25,682.68 plus taxes, license, and registration. Another reduction the City Council may want to consider is starting to convert our vehicle fleet to white trucks. This conversion will reduce the cost of the painting of$I,224.95. The white color would be the new standard for Arden Hills, because it is available from all vehicle manufactures as a standard color. This reduction would bring the cost to $24,457.73 plus tax, license and registration. The replacement of the existing vehicle was scheduled to be recommended in the 2010 CIP. Staff had a budget figure of$35,000 programmed for this replacement. Due to all of the items being currently available at State Contract pricing and the reductions of the damage and trade - in offer from Boyer Ford we are able to acquire a new vehicle with a savings of approximately $9,300 by purchasing it in 2009.
