SUBMITTED BY: Margaret Mims, Sheriff-Coroner
SUBJECT: Sheriff-Coroner Non-Patrol Vehicle Purchase
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Adopt Budget Resolution increasing the FY 2016-17 appropriations and estimated revenues for Sheriff-Coroner Org 3111 in the amount of $280,000 for the purchase and up-fitting of non-patrol vehicles (4/5 vote).
REPORT
There is no additional Net County Cost associated with this action. The County of Fresno Human Resources Risk Management Division collects insurance reimbursements from citizens' insurance companies and/or citizen vehicle operators who are the responsible party for traffic collisions involving Sheriff's vehicles. These funds along with the accumulated proceeds from the sale of surplus Sheriff-Coroner vehicles and unclaimed property funds will be utilized to purchase up to thirteen replacements for aging non-patrol vehicles. The approval of the recommended action will allow the Sheriff-Coroner to increase appropriations and estimated revenues in Sheriff-Coroner Org 3111 to facilitate this purchase.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
The County can defer the purchase of replacement vehicles; however, this delay will likely result in higher maintenance costs and fewer future vehicles purchased as costs for new vehicles will continue to escalate.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with this action. The proceeds from the sale of surplus vehicles in the amount of $175,559, along with insurance recovery in the amount of $34,441, and Unclaimed Property funds of $70,000 for a total of $280,000 will be used to fund the vehicle purchases. Approval of the recommended action will increase the FY 2016-17 appropriations and estimated revenues in the Sheriff-Coroner Org 3111 in the amount of $280,000 for the purchase and up-fitting of non-patrol vehicles. Operating costs for the replacement vehicles are included in the Sheriff-Coroner's Org 3111 Adopted Budget ...
