SUBJECT
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the Interim City Manager to Appropriate and Transfer $40,000 in Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Revenue from the General Fund to the Fleet Capital Fund for the Outfitting of Two Ford Explorers Used for the Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Program
RECOMMENDATION
That the Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) authorizing the interim City Manager to appropriate and transfer $40,000 in revenue from the Abandoned Vehicle Abatement (AVA) Program from the General Fund (100) to the Fleet Capital Fund (736) for the outfitting of two (2) Ford Explorer Hybrid Interceptors to be used for the AVA program.
SUMMARY
In April 2022, the Hayward Police Department (HPD) requested Council authorization to appropriate and transfer AVA funds to the Fleet Capital Fund to purchase two Ford Explorer Hybrids and outfit them with the proper equipment and decals. Due to inventory shortages, the cost of the vehicles increased by the time the vehicles were available for purchase. The City of Hayward is now in possession of the vehicles, but the Fleet Division needs an additional $40,000 from the AVA funding to outfit the vehicles with the necessary equipment and decals.
