I have checked the Blue Book and found that a 1974 Ford LTD with power steering, power brakes, and no air should have an average price of $2,650. 00 , an average trade in of $2, 050. 00 3nd a low book at $1, 850. 00. I would suggest we offer $2, 100.00 for the unit as it has low mileage. As you are aware, we are short one unit for which we received $1,900. 00 in insurance payments. This would be an opportunity to replace this unit for $200. 00. We should also consider that we could retain this vehicle in our inventory to make a total of six. This is a unique chance to acquire a vehicle � without a capital outlay expenditure item. I have sufficient money in capital outlay funds in the 1978 budget to cover the $200.00 cost plus miscellaneous items of police gear. � Council P4eeting - January 9, 1978 Dsayor Van Nest moved, Pesek seconded, to aP�rove the purchase of the P�tinnetonka Beach squadcar costs not to exceed $1,900. 00. tiotion, Ayes (5) - Nays (0) .
