11. ADDITION TO COUNTY ATTORNEY FLEET AND EXEMPTION FROM MARKINGS AND ISSUANCE OF UNDERCOVER PLATES 1. Authorize the addition of four (4) vehicles to the County Attorney’s vehicle fleet. The County Attorney desires to purchase one (1) pickup truck, two (2) sedans, and one (1) maintenance cart. Three of the vehicles will be used in specialized criminal investigations and the fourth used to support the maintenance of County Attorney facilities. The purchase price of the vehicles is expected not to exceed $104,500 and will be acquired using County Attorney (190) General Fund (100) dollars. 2. Approve an exemption from markings and issuance of non-governmental license plates per A.R.S. §38-538 and §28-2511(A) for the three investigative vehicles as they will be used for sensitive criminal investigations where the safety of both the mission and the personnel are dependent upon anonymity. The maintenance cart would be marked appropriately in accordance with County policy for public markings. The County Attorney will absorb the annual cost of maintaining the additional vehicles. The estimated annual operational costs for the new vehicles are estimated to be $8,000 and will come from the County Attorney (190) General Fund (100) budget. The County Attorney requests that these vehicles will be included in future County General Fund replacement programs when they are retired at the end of their useful life. Confidential vehicle information for the three investigative vehicles will be provided to the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors under separate cover. (C-19-15-032-V-00)
