2 <br /> on availability of surplus vehicles. It should be <br /> noted that the current policy of assigning surplus <br /> Sheriff' s vehicles to County departments who have <br /> limited mileage requirements would continue. The <br /> pool of vehicles available to the Fire Department <br /> would be those which are essentially ready for <br /> auction. <br /> The vehicles which have been identified for potential <br /> reassignment are three 1988 Chevrolet Caprice. There <br /> are a number of options which could be exercised in <br /> determining the cost of these vehicles to the fire <br /> departments. Three which we have identified include <br /> the following: <br /> 1. Set the price at "market value" as stated in the <br /> current edition of NADA Official Used Car Guide. <br /> [Price: $4675 (trade-in value) -$2100 (high <br /> mileage deduct)=$2 , 575] <br /> 2 . Set the price at the "auction value, " which we <br /> have determined by taking an average of the <br /> prices for which vehicles of like make and model <br /> were bought at the annual auction. This year' s <br /> auction was held in May, 1993 . [Price: $1,828] <br /> 3 . Set the price at a token amount, for example <br /> $1. 00. <br /> It is requested that the Board decide on a methodology <br /> to determine the cost of a vehicle to the Fire <br /> Department and authorize the Director of Purchasing <br /> and Central Services to execute the necessary <br /> paperwork to effect the transfer of vehicles. <br /> Should the Board wish to reconsider, County Attorney <br /> Geof Gledhill will advise on the appropriate steps. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: As the Board decides. <br />
