TO: MICHAEL E. MALONE, CITY MANAGER <br /> <br />FROM: KARL LOUIS, CHIEF OF POLICE <br /> <br />SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF VEHICLE FOR AUTO THEFT DIV. <br /> <br />DATE: .HJLY 11, 2001 <br /> <br />The Auto Theft Division of the Paris Police Department has been <br />fortunate enough to receive an additional supplemental grant in the <br />amount of $25,000.00 to be used specifically for the purchase of a <br />pickup truck. There is no grant match requirement on the supplemental <br />grant. However, this purchase must be made before August 31, 200I, <br />which doesn't give us much time. We were advised that we had selected <br />to receive this supplemental grant last week and it was approved by the <br />council to be received / accepted on Monday, July 9, 2001. <br /> <br />I have informed the City Attorney and have requested that this item be <br />placed on the City Council Agenda for Monday, July 16, 2001 so that we <br />might obtain permission from the council to go ahead and purchase this <br />vehicle through the Houston - Galveston Area Council of Government <br />contract. <br /> <br />We can purchase the 2002 one half ton extended cab pickup truck <br />having already been pre - bid for the price of $22,063.46. The balance of <br />the grant money can then be used to purchase a new police radio to go <br />in the truck. I am sorry for the urgency of this request, but we were just <br />notified that we received the award and we must use this money by the <br />last day of August or we will have to forfeit the $25,000.00. If you need <br />further information relating to this grant purchase, please let me know. <br /> <br />Thanks in advance for your consideration of this request. <br /> <br />cc: Larry Schenk, City Attorney <br /> Sgt. Haskell Maroney, Police Department <br /> <br /> <br />
