Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, September 18, 2023 <br />Page 9 <br />Mr. Meyers asked, no one has any in -stock cars that are just sitting? <br />Chief Matias replied, not that I am aware of, no. Not on State bid. And like I said, these are for <br />next year. We are ordering them this year so we can get them next year. These aren't even built <br />yet. We are getting the other three cars in addition to the one we got earlier this year. That will <br />keep our fleet going for that. These I am ordering for next year, so it's two new patrol cars and to <br />replace a 12-year old Detective's Bureau car. <br />Mr. Meyers asked, the ones we are getting now are going to be Chargers? <br />Chief Matias replied, yes. <br />Mr. Meyers stated, right now. And the Detective Bureau car, how many miles are on that? <br />Chief Matias replied, 35,000. <br />Mr. Meyers asked, what year is that car? <br />Chief Matias replied, a 2012. <br />Mr. Meyers asked, a 2012? <br />Chief Matias replied, yes. <br />Mr. Meyers asked, the Detective Bureau will get a new car or a hand -down? <br />Chief Matias replied, we probably will get them a new car.

What do we change them out at? <br />Chief Matias replied, we used to change them out at about 70,000. It will be higher than that. We <br />have one with 68,000, 107,000, 93,000. Again, in a year, these are all going to be a year older. <br />Mr. Meyers asked, did they give you a time on the Chargers at this point? <br />Chief Matias replied, the Chargers are coming in in October. Those are the cars we ordered two <br />years ago. The cars I am trying to order now are for next year. If we order them now, we can get <br />
