Body
BACKGROUND: On September 19, 2012, a Norman Police Department police cruiser, Unit 1166, was involved in a traffic collision. The cause of the collision was determined to be another driver whose vehicle collided with the back of Unit 1166. The insurance company (State Farm Insurance) for the driver at cause determined the damage to Unit 1166 a total loss and issued the city a check for $22,502.30 in exchange for the vehicle. The City deposited the insurance check into Miscellaneous Risk Management 043-0000-367.12-64) in October, 2012
DISCUSSION: Based on the replacement value of the damaged police vehicle, State Farm Insurance issued a check in the amount of $22,503.30; however, the build-out for a new police cruiser is $32,328. The appropriation required will partially fund the purchase of a replacement police cruiser which will be used for law enforcement purposes. The remaining $9,826 cost of the replacement vehicle will be paid through transferred allocations for the purchase of the police vehicles included in the FYE 2013 budget.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that $22,503 be appropriated from Miscellaneous Risk Management Revenue (043-0000-367.12-64) and be allocated to Patrol/Police Cares (010-6022-421.50-02) for the replacement of Unit 1166.
