AGENDA MEMORANDUM

Meeting Date:           December 20, 2010

From:                          William Chrisman, Police Chief

Subject: Request for authorization to change the future decals on marked patrol vehicles.

Staff Recommendation:

Staff recommends approval of the request from the Police Department to change the design of future patrol cars decals utilizing the proposed design through an attrition process.

Analysis:

The purpose of this request is to change the out-dated decals on the marked patrol vehicles while instilling a greater sense of pride for the officers through their involvement in the recommendation process.  Officers were asked to review six potential decal changes and vote for one.  Attachment #1 received 30 votes and Attachment #2 received 15 votes, with the remaining images receiving fewer votes. 

Options:

1. Approve the request to change the design of future patrol cars decals through attrition; or

2.   Such alternative action as the Commission may deem appropriate

Fiscal Impact: 

Current marked patrol vehicles decals cost approximately $325 per vehicle installed.  The proposed new decals will cost approximately $285 per vehicle installed, resulting in a net savings of $40 per vehicle.
