11. USE OF AVAILABLE FLEET VEHICLES FOR MALL PATROL Authorize Equipment Services to retain up to 20 serviceable vehicles scheduled to be taken out of the Sheriff’s Office and County-wide fleet so they can be used for 2014 holiday mall patrol which begins November 29, 2014 and concludes January 2, 2015. Fuel costs are estimated to be $3,500 and an allowance of up to $500 per vehicle for necessary repair to put the vehicle into service will be funded by the Sheriff’s Office (50) General Fund (100). Approval of this item allows the Sheriff’s Office to assemble a temporary fleet of enforcement vehicles in anticipation of increased activity at the malls throughout the Valley during the holiday shopping season. Posse volunteers are generally used for these assignments. The increased presence is intended to deter crime and enhance response of certified officers. (C-50-15-007-M-00)
