I request that you approve, on an emergency basis, the
repair by outside vendors, of approximately twenty (20)
police vehicles. It is anticipated that the total cost
for these repairs will not exceed $30,000. The funds are
available within this Department's current budget.
The Police Department is experiencing vehicle shortages to
the extent that proper citywide police coverage cannot be
accomplished. At the present time there are approximately
38 police unit wrecks awaiting repair. I am at a loss to
explain the drastic increase in the number of police units
involved in accidents. However, the automotive body work
on present day vehicles, especially police vehicles, is
considerably more complex than in prior years.
Every effort will be made to obtain multiple estimates for
all repairs. However, in some instances the ability to
complete the repairs in the shortest period of time will be
the determining factor. It is my intention to distribute
the repairs to several vendors so that a minimum time will
elapse for their repair and return. I am at this time pro-
ceeding with the repairs as instructed by you during a recent
telephone conversation.
