She looks to success of <br />this program as it is implemented come Spring. <br />ROLL CALL: AYES: All <br />NAYS: None Motion Carried <br />Ordinance Enacted <br />Mrs. Cinco said they will consider the purchase of police cars at this time [per <br />amendment to agenda.] <br />Consideration of Bids for Purchase of Police Cars <br />Mrs. Cinco said everyone has received Chief Stevens' memo. He believes "the actual cost <br />will be approximately $16,601.50." They are asking for 4 cars, one of which will go to the <br />Fire Department to replace their 1987 car. The total would be $66,800; the vendor is Jack <br />Maxton Chevrolet out of Columbus. The final acceptance date is January 18,1995. This is <br />why the Chief would like to see this approved tonight. <br />Mr. Busa, seconded by Mr. Ferrante, made a motion to authorize the expenditure of <br />$66,800 for the purchase of four (4) police cars from Jack Maxton Chevrolet. <br />Mr. Fixler said he recalls when Cleveland started using the Chevrolet police vehicles, they <br />had a brake problem. He asked if Chevrolet has modified that. <br />Chief Stevens said to the best of his knowledge that problem was a lack of education <br />given the drivers of the car. That was the first year anti-lock brakes were introduced on <br />police vehicles. He has no mechanical concerns about Chevrolet. <br />Mayor Rinker said the types of transmission problems we are running into with the Fords <br />are less than satisfying. <br />ROLL CALL: AYES: All <br />NAYS: IVone <br />Motion Carried <br />Expenditure Authorized <br />Motion to Authorize an Increase in the Promotion and Benefit Account to $2,000 <br />Mr. Fixler, seconded by Mr. Ferrante, made a motion to authorize an increase of $2,000 to <br />- the Promotion and Benefit account.
