Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, September 18, 2023 <br />Page 8 <br />Mr. Meyers asked, what happened to the Chargers that we ordered? <br />Chief Matias replied, they should be here hopefully in October. <br />Mr. Meyers asked, that's police cars? <br />Chief Matias replied, those are the cars we ordered two years ago. <br />Mr. Meyers asked, so these are three more cars on top of them too that we ordered? Basically? <br />Chief Matias replied, yes. <br />Mr. Meyers asked, how many cars do we have right now? <br />Chief Matias replied, these are the cars for next year. <br />Mr. Meyers asked, do you know how many cars we have right now? <br />Chief Matias replied, 14. <br />Mr. Meyers asked, 14 total? <br />Chief Matias replied, yes. <br />Mr. Meyers asked, how many of them have to be changed out right now? Are they over mileage? <br />Over years? <br />Chief Matias replied, some of them are both, yes. Normally what we have done traditionally is <br />every year we rotate the fleet by getting two or three cars. The three cars we are trying to get now, <br />the Chargers that are coming, those were ordered two years ago. We ordered four. We got one. <br />The ones that are coming in are the other three that were for last year and the year before. What I <br />am trying to do for 2024 is order them now so hopefully we will get them hopefully some time <br />next year. By ordering them now we can get them at the 2023 price and get the 2024's. We can <br />order them next year, but it will be more expensive. <br />Mr. Meyers asked, but they are not going to be Chargers, they are going to be Durangos? <br />Chief Matias replied, no we can't get Chargers. <br />Mr. Meyers asked, no more Chargers? <br />Chief Matias replied, these are the only things I can get right now. I can't order Tahoes. I can't <br />order Explorers. Nobody's making a car anymore. We are basically stuck getting SUV's. The <br />only thing open to order right now are the Durangos. <br />
