11. EXEMPTION FROM MARKINGS OF REPLACEMENT FLEET VEHICLE Pursuant to A.R.S. § 38-538-03 and §28-2511(A), approve the issuance of non-governmental license plates and exemptions from county markings for one (1) undercover vehicle. This vehicle is replacing one (1) vehicle that is used for law enforcement investigative purposes. Vehicle details and identification numbers will be kept on file in the Clerk of the Board’s office and retained in accordance with Arizona State Library Archives and Public Records (ASLAPR) approved retention schedule. This vehicle was purchased in accordance with Maricopa County’s vehicle replacement process. The replacement was acquired using General Government (Agency 470) General fund (100) monies through the Equipment Services department. The County Attorney agrees to reimburse General Government Equipment Services for the cost difference of upgrading the class of vehicle from that of the one it replaced. This replacement was deemed critical by equipment services due to excessive mileage and/or the age of the vehicle which made it cost prohibitive to acquire replacement parts with which to maintain the vehicle. As this action involves the a replacement of an existing vehicle in the fleet, expenditures for the operation and maintenance of the vehicle will continue to be absorbed by the County Attorney's general fund budget with zero net impact. As the vehicles being replaced is currently exempt from markings and governmental license plates, the Maricopa County Attorney's Office requests that the replacement vehicle also be exempt from County markings and issued a regular Arizona license plate as provided in accordance with A.R.S. § 38-538.03 and A.R.S. § 28-2511(A). This will ensure that it can be used in furtherance of their law enforcement mission. (C-19-14-049-V-00)
