BACKGROUND: On October 31, 2015, Norman Police Department Police vehicle Unit #1132, a 2011 Ford Crown Victoria, was involved in a traffic collision. The cause of the collision was determined to be another driver who collided with Unit #1132. The insurance company (Farmers Insurance Company) for the driver at cause determined the damage to Unit #1132 was caused by their policy holder and issued the City of Norman a check for $8,585. The City receipted the insurance check into Risk Management Fund Reimbursement Account (043-0000-367.12-64), in September 2017.

The current estimates to repair these two units total over $9,700.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that $8,585 be appropriated from Risk Management Fund Reimbursement Account (043-0000-367.12-64) and to the Patrol/Auto Repair-Outside account (010-6022-421.42-01) for the repair of Unit #1189 AND Unit #1196.
