RECOMMENDATION:  Staff recommends that the Board authorize expenditure of funds to purchase Ford F-150 truck from Cypress Coast Ford at a not-to-exceed price of $23,000.  This authorization would also include trading-in the old vehicle.

 

BACKGROUND:  The Fiscal Year 2014-2015 Budget includes $25,000 for the replacement of 1999 Ford F-150 (Unit #4) truck.  This truck was on the replacement schedule, and funds to replace this truck were previously accrued in the Capital Reserve Fund.
