COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
ITEM N0. 13
FOR MEETING OF: 2/1 /77
ITEM TITLE: Resolution 8495: Appropriating Funds for the Purchase of a Vehicle
for,, the Parking Meter Activity
SUBMITTED BY~ Director of Finance
ITEM EXPLANATION
The Parking Meter Division in 1970 purchased a Suzuki truck for the Parking
Meter Repair and Maintenance Man. Since acquiring this truck in 1970 we
have experienced considerable difficulty in obtaining parts. This vehicle
presently needs clutch work, brakes, shock absorbers and a throttle cable.
It is also using an excessive amount of oil. Equipment Maintenance indicates
that repairs requiring the purchase of parts would result in long delays in
returning the Suzuki to service due to the difficulty in getting parts.
The City has an opportunity to purchase a 1970 postal jeep with 19,114 miles
on it. The price is $1,060 and according to Equipment Maintenance, who has
inspected the vehicle, it is a very good buy. Anew import pickup that would
meet the requirements of the Parking Meter Division would cost over $3,600.
The used Post Office jeep has the following features that are an improvement
over the Suzuki truck.
1. "Right Hand" drive for easier access to meters which also eliminates step-
ping into traffic lanes.
2. Enclosed cab that can be locked for security of tools and spare parts.
3. Economical four cylinders, General Motors engine.
4, Lower overall operating cost.
5. Ready availability of parts.
