RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriation Adjustment No. 5053 authorizing new revenue in the amount of $33,852 in the Sheriff's Office of the Emergency Services (0362) from the sale of a vehicle and appropriating it for the purchase of a replacement vehicle capable of towing critical emergency response trailers.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No County costs. $33,852, proceeds from sale of vehicle.

BACKGROUND:

The Emergency Services Division (EDS) is the logistical support arm of the Sheriff's Office and the Operational Area. ESD currently has 17 trailers in their fleet that provide a variety of capabilities, incident command, mobile power generation, portable water, food service and sanitation, to name a few. This equipment deploys regularly to planned events, local emergencies and disasters through mutual aid.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Currently the Emergency Services Division does not have enough capable tow vehicles for the emergency trailers in their fleet. On large operations or situations where there are multiple requests (including disaster response) for equipment, the Emergency Services Division must ferry equipment and coordinate vehicles to tow. This often requires tow vehicles to go back and forth to pick up multiple trailers. Adding another tow vehicle able to tow any trailer in the fleet will add flexibility and capability to meet multiple requests for service.

Grant funds and auction salvage dollars are available to purchase the vehicle in its entirety. No general funds will be used to purchase this vehicle.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Expenditure appropriations and estimated revenue will not reflect the sale of the vehicle and the planned use of proceeds.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
