10. 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 five (5) undercover vehicles. These vehicles are replacing five (5) vehicles that were used for law enforcement investigative purposes. Vehicle details and identification numbers will be kept on file with the Clerk of the Board's office in accordance with LAPR retention guidelines. These vehicles were purchased in accordance with Maricopa County’s vehicle replacement process. The replacements were acquired using General Government (D470) General fund (100) monies through the Equipment Services department. The County Attorney agrees to reimburse General Government Equipment Services for any applicable cost differences of upgrading the class of vehicle from that of the one it replaced. The replacements were deemed critical by equipment services due to excessive mileage and/or the age of the vehicles which made it cost prohibitive to acquire replacement parts with which to maintain them. As this action involves the replacement of existing vehicles in the fleet, therefore expenditures for the operation and maintenance of the vehicles will continue to be absorbed by the County Attorney's general fund budget with zero net impact. As the vehicles being replaced are currently exempt from markings and governmental license plates, the Maricopa County Attorney's Office requests that the replacement vehicles also be exempt from County markings and issued regular Arizona license plates as provided in accordance with A.R.S. § 38-538.03 and A.R.S. § 28-2511(A). This will ensure that they can be used in furtherance of their law enforcement mission. (C-19-18-054-M-00)
