Requests Above Mayor's Budget
Purpose/ Short Description:
Replacement of Emergency Response Vehicle - Duty Chief's SUV
Total Amount: 55,000.00
Priority: 4
Is this request Maintenance of Effort or a New Initiative? Maintenance of Effort
Reason for Request:
The current 2005 Tahoe has 88000 miles and is a primary emergency response vehicle for the
Duty Chief. The current vehicle is becoming less reliable and subject to more frequent repairs
Effect if not funded:
The vehicle will continue to be in- service, but may be put in reserve and we will use a larger Suburban
Vehicle for emergency response. As it continues to be in- service maintenance costs will likely continue to
increase.
