8. RICO FLEET REPLACEMENTS Approve two one-time additions to the Sheriff's RICO fleet as follows: 1) 2006 Nissan Titan Pick up Truck, valued at $9,700. This vehicle replaces Sheriff's RICO vehicle #73. 2) 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HDT, valued at $24,500. This vehicle replaces Sheriff's RICO vehicle #28. These are forfeiture vehicles seized during HIDTA investigations. Also per A.R.S. 38.538.03 approve exemptions from markings and the issuance of undercover license plates. These vehicles will be used in special investigations. There is a currently-estimated one-time cost of $15,967 ($15,881.76 plus $2.45/day March 7 through April 10, 2013) to pay off a GMAC lien on the Chevrolet. This amount, plus the annual fuel and maintenance costs, which are estimated to be $12,500 annually for both vehicles, will be funded by RICO (Fund 212). These vehicles will be retired and disposed of at the end of their useful lives and according to RICO guidelines with no funding from the general fund for replacement. (C-50-13-071-M-00)
