19. ADDITION OF PERMANENT VEHICLE TO THE FLEET Approve a permanent addition to the County fleet for one passenger sedan to be purchased by the Equipment Services Department for use by the Juvenile Probation Department (JPD). Additional costs are operating costs which are estimated to be approximately $5,000 per fiscal year. Vehicle and operating costs will be absorbed in the JPD General Fund operating budget. In addition, approve an exemption from County markings and issuance of non-governmental license plates per A.R.S. § 38-538.03 as this vehicle will be utilized in surveillance operations. Upon approval of this agenda item vehicle information including year, make, model and vehicle identification number will be provided to the Clerk of Board. This vehicle will be assigned to a JPD Surveillance Officer of the Drug Court and Special Supervision Unit (DCSSU). There are currently three DCSSU teams and each team requires one vehicle; Surveillance Officers, as part of the DCSSU, travel far distances to monitor youth who require special attention and constant monitoring while in the community. This vehicle will be part of the newly created fourth team. It is anticipated that the program will grow to serve 300 youth within the next two years necessitating additional teams and vehicles as expansion progresses. (C-27-11-003-2-00)
