INFORMATION FOR VILLAGE BOARD CONSIDERATION
ITEM DESCRIPTION: LCFD purchase of FVMPD squad car
PREPARED BY: Mark Jansen
REPORT DATE: 11/30/2018
ADMINISTRATOR’S REVIEW/COMMENTS:
No additional comments to this report:_________________
See additional comments attached:____________________
EXPLANATION: LCFD would like to purchase 1 of FVMPD used squad car. We would like to put a
cap on our existing pickup truck and add additional lighting to use as a response vehicle. The squad would
be used by the fire inspector, for out of town meetings for fire department meetings & training, as well
serving as a response vehicle for the Chief. Chief Meister has given us a price to purchase the squad at a
cost of $4500.00, we would spend an additional $3000.00 to wrap the vehicle (quoted by Sign Country),
along with adding response lighting & siren (aprox. cost $2,000 to $3,000). Other than required typical
maintenance and fuel we foresee no other expenses. My plan would be to use the remaining balance of the
$45,000 we had set aside for equipping the aerial ladder.
