Regular City Council Meeting <br />Monday, January 11, 2010 <br />Page 5 <br />vice/repair records, mileage, and any potential vehicle damage between now and <br />then. <br />Acting Police Chief Mathwig noted a-mail correspondence between City Coun- <br />cilmember Tammy Pust and staff, including a memorandum dated January 8, <br />2010 from Acting Chief of Police Rick Mathwig to City Manager Bill Malinen <br />with additional 2010 squad car information provided as a bench handout, with <br />City Finance Director Chris Miller confirming that any funds received from trade- <br />ins would be returned to the fund from which new units were purchased. <br />Councilmember Ihlan sought additional information on the actual mileage of <br />those vehicles scheduled for replacement. <br />Acting Police Chief Mathwig provided a spreadsheet listing the Police Depart- <br />ment's rolling stock; and proposed squads targeted for replacement; based on the <br />caveats previously detailed for maintenance history and mileage at the time of ar- <br />rival of the new units. <br />Klausing moved, Roe seconded, approval of general purchases and/or contracts as <br />follows: <br />De artment Vendor Item/Descri tion Amount <br />Police Elk River Ford 2010 Ford Crown Victoria <br />Five 5 vehicles $116,201.60 <br />~treets <br /> <br />u Astleford Truck 2010 Dump Truck <br />Note: Includes a $12,000 trade-in from <br />1994 Dum Truck 60,853.48 <br />RW Kath Fuel Oil 2010 Blanket Purchase Order fuel 70,000.00 <br />W Yocum Oil Com an 2010 Blanket Purchase Order fuel 140,000.00 <br />ilmember Ihlan advised that she would be voting against the motion; not based on <br />the dump truck replacement, of which she was supportive; but based on her con- <br />cern with replacement of squad cars under the City's current policy of replace- <br />ment at 75,000 miles, rather than keeping the vehicles in service longer. Coun- <br />cilmember Ihlan advised that, until there was a review of that policy to consider <br />extended use, it was premature to vote on replacement of the squad units. <br />Councilmember Pust advised that she was abstaining from the vote since she had <br />not been present for the entire discussion. <br />Roll Call <br />Ayes: Roe; Johnson; and Klausing. <br />Nays: Ihlan. <br />Abstained: Pust <br />Motion carried. <br />9.
