I: <br />1^ <br />Intairof-fica liamo <br />,Dates February B, 1990 <br />' <br />To*Mark Bernhardson <br />From*Mel Kilbo, Chief <br />1 <br />Re*CSO Vehicle <br />In 1989, a request was <br />budget, for permission <br />in the <br />Community Service Q-f-ficer to use in dinimal control. This <br />vehicle would double as a police response vehicle to be used <br />in adverse weather when impractical or unable to use a <br />regular squad due to severe weather conditions. Budget was <br />approved for this vehicle with the City Council. <br />We have checked into numerous vehicles and have found a 1986 <br />Ford Bronco II with 68,000 miles on it at the Auto Haus of <br />Minneapolis, Inc., located at 7709 42nd Avenue North, New <br />Hope. We have communicated with Mr. ira Rosen, 535-5707, <br />part owner O"^ this car dealership, who advised us this is a <br />leased vehicle taken in on another new leased vehicle. The <br />Bronco has 100'/. for 30 days on parts and labor, and that he <br />would make it available for us for ^7,590. <br />Lt. Cheswick and CSC Walsh have made a visual inspection of <br />the vehicle, noted it to be extreme clean and well cared for <br />and the drive train, body, and tires were in excellent <br />condition. <br />We explained to Mr. Rosen the procedure that would have to <br />be followed in a municipal purchase. He stated he would be <br />interested enough in the sale to us to hold the vehicle <br />until City Council permission to purchase was arranged. <br />This is within our budget of ^8000 and the other equipment <br />that would be needed to make it operational is also within <br />our budget costs. <br />I therefore request permission to purchase the above stated <br />vehicle from the party so that we can get the unit in <br />service in time for the spring animal control program.
