1. APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fleet Manager to purchase two compact trucks for the
Agriculture Department.
2. AUTHORIZE the attached appropriation adjustment transferring $30,800 from the Agriculture
Department to General Services/Fleet Services.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Purchase of the two vehicles will be financed by funds from the California Department of Food and
Agriculture.
BACKGROUND
The Agriculture Department is adding two compact-size pickup trucks that are needed due to the
expansion of the state funded Pest Detection Program. These funds must be encumbered by
September 30, 2002.
These vehicles were not on the Master List for Vehicle Replacement in FY2002--2003. Therefore, in
accordance with Administrative Bulletin No. 508: "County Vehicle and Equipment Acquisition and
Replacement Policy with Guidelines," approval is requested for the purchase of the above-referenced
vehicles. Based on a review of the need for the new vehicle and consideration of alternative fueled
vehicles, the Fleet Manager recommends approval of this request. This request has been reviewed
and approved by the County Administrator for consideration by the Board of Supervisors.
