RB.~~. (p(1!o/OG CC... S~.e,,,..~ -tee. Chief Sletner: After reading the RCA on this item in the packet for the June 16th meeting, I had several questions that I wanted to give you a chance to consider prior to Monday's meeting. I'll preface by saying these questions are not intended to be critical or negative, but just an effort to think through the possible issues as completely as I (and by extension we, the City) can before accepting the donation. Questions on the age/condition/usage of the vehicle: a. How many miles are on the vehicle? 220,000 miles b. What is the expected annual usage by the PD, in miles/year? We estimate we will use this ri for the next 10 years. This is a diesel vehicle and is very sound. We had city mechanics do a complete work-up; they pronouncing it in excellent condition. We may put u to 2,000 miles on this vehicle er year. We ho a to be able to use this rig for as long as it is safely and mechanically possible. We have never budgeted for this tune of vehicle, choosin instead to utilize a no-frills van which was purchased with forfeiture funds in 2001. We used an additional $1,000.00 in forfeiture funds to equip the on final van with radios, supplies, etc. c. Normally, we replace squad cars after a relatively short period. This vehicle is 13 years old already. Granted, it will be used differently than a squad car. What do we anticipate the useful remaining life of this vehicle to be in this role? We will utilize this vehicle as primarily a tactical/mobile command Host. It will be used to carry equipment, ersonnel and sup lies. It will also be used a_s a command post for patrol and investi ative pu oses durin critical incidents. Transporting equipment for trainincT purposes (fie; firearms range, off-campus trainin events, etc.) is another intended use of the rig. 2. Questions on the purpose/policy objectives: a. What does the Roseville PD use (if anything) as an emergency command vehicle now? We don't have an emergency command vehicle now. Only on tactical situations do we use the 2001 van. The roblems we have faced with not having a stand-alone tactical ri is we don't have all the ecrui went we need in one vehicle, to handle a critical incident. Sometimes we end up using a white board on the trunk of a scruad car, with whatever equipment we can find at the scene or bring to it. b. Has an emergency command vehicle been identified as a priority for the PD prior to this donation? Yes, that is why we purchased the original van in 2001.
