3 <br />Vehicle Replacement -Internal Service Fund <br />Purpose of Fund <br />In FY 2012-13,the Commissioner Approved Budgetestablishesa second Internal Service Fund, for <br />County vehicle purchases. Internal Service Funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and <br />allocate costs internally among the functions of the County.Historically, the County has used an <br />internal service fund to account for one activity - its employee dental insurance program. If the Board <br />of County Commissioners (BOCC) approves the new Internal Service Fund, vehicles purchaseswould <br />occur through this fundinstead ofthedepartments’ operatingbudgets. The change would centralize <br />vehicle purchases, which wouldincrease the effectiveness ofvehicle performance and cost <br />monitoring. <br />The list below outlines Manager recommended vehicle requestsforFY 2012-13.During the <br />summer/early fall, staff will providea complete list of recommended, debt-financed, vehicle purchases, <br />for the BOCC’s consideration. <br />FY 2012-13Manager’s Recommended Vehicles <br />DepartmentItem DescriptionCost <br />Vehicle due to be replaced (Parks)$19,397 <br />Department of the <br />Environment, Agriculture, <br />Parks and Recreation <br />Vehicle due to be replaced (Soil and Water Conservation)$19,397 <br />Funds to re-purpose F800 vehicle for use as a Mass Casualty <br />$25,000 <br />response unit (Administration) <br />Emergency Services <br />F-150 to replace high mileage vehicle (Life Safety <br />$28,171 <br />Management) <br />Replaced ambulance for aging fleet(Emergency Medical <br />$227,848 <br />Services) <br />Previous truck rendered unusable, 12/2010.
