Background:
On July 17, 2024 the City Council voted and adopted the Annual Budget for Fiscal Year 2025. In an effort to be transparent, it is internal policy to bring to your attention a request to reappropriate funds from one project to another or reappropriate funds for a new project or purchase not already approved as part of the current annual budget.
The funding source for this vehicle purchase request was originally allocated to the purchase of a Fentanyl testing device, however, we have determined this is not the best use of funds. The police department is seeking council approval for the reallocation of funds to purchase this vehicle.
The State of Oklahoma currently has three vendors with competitive bids for mid-sized utility vehicles (SUV’s). Law Enforcement agencies throughout the State of Oklahoma can purchase vehicles at the state contract price, which is advantageous to the political subdivisions by allowing them to make purchases at lower prices. The Police Department is seeking to purchase one (1) mid-sized utility vehicle from the state bid contract. This vehicle will be used as a dedicated travel vehicle for police department personnel traveling out of town to training and conferences.
Vance Chevrolet submitted a state bid price of $37,843.00 for the 2025 Chevrolet Traverse.
Funds have been appropriated and are available in the Police Department’s Public Safety Sales Tax Capital Improvement and Asset Forfeiture Funds.
Cost: $37,843.00
Funding Source: PSST Project 2530090 / Asset Forfeiture-Fund 331
Requested By: Lance Arnold, Police Chief
Approved By: City Manager’s Office
