ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve or disapprove. BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE: The police department is requesting to transfer the Mamba S.W.A.T. vehicle back to the 1033 program or another qualifying agency and remove it from our fixed assets list. The Mamba was manufactured in South Africa and was obtained in 2012 for free through from the New Mexico State Police through the state’s 1033 federal/state transfer program. The Mamba currently needs an EGR valve which is not available in the United States. In consultation with our mechanics at Village Maintenance, it was determined that trying to repair the Mamba is extremely difficult and not cost effective. Per the 1033 program we can either transfer the equipment to another agency that wants it or return it. MICHAEL JARAMILLO 4. INFRASTRUCTURE BUDGET REQUEST 2019/2020. TAB 4.
