Summary

Council approved reallocation of up to $21,000—supplemented by insurance proceeds and $35,000 already in equipment reserves—to purchase a replacement Durango police vehicle after a charger was totaled.

Council approved a request to reallocate funds to pay for a replacement police vehicle after staff said the department lost a charger and could not acquire replacements. Staff explained insurance proceeds plus $35,000 already held in equipment reserves would still leave a $19,000–$21,000 shortfall for a replacement Durango.

"So what we're asking council to do is to allow us to reallocate those funds to be spent on the Durango," staff said. The council approved reallocation of up to $21,000 for a replacement vehicle for the police department. Staff said contract and procurement steps will follow, and that the reallocation leverages insurance proceeds to minimize the impact on the city mortgage and capital schedules.
