Subject: Lease Purchase of 2007 Ford Explore – Mayor Petitt opened the discussion with the amount of monies received from the insurance company from the totaled 2006 Ford Explorer. Mayor Petitt stated that we have received three checks; the first in the amount of $11,295.38 for the vehicle, a second check in the amount of $500.00 for the deductible and a third check in the amount of $935.46 for the damaged equipment. The insurance company had also made a payment in the amount of $10,559.62 to pay off the totaled vehicle. The mayor suggested we make a down payment of $11,000.00 and finance the vehicle for two years. Which is actually when the 2006 Ford Explorer would have been paid for.
Member Meadows asked how much will the new equipment cost for the Explorer. Chief Duncan said approximately a little over $4,000.00. The essential equipment needed would cost approximately $3,000.00 and the additional equipment would cost $1,000.00 give or take. Other discussion was held on the price of a Ford Explorer versus a Crown Victoria. The Ford Explorer cost $20,699.00 and the Crown Victoria is only $299.00 less at the price of $20,400.00. The Ford Explorer is a V6 and is a four-wheel drive vehicle and there is a slight difference in the miles per gallon per vehicle.
Chief Duncan also stated that Member Mathis had asked at the previous meeting about the mileage on the Crown Victoria’s we currently have. We have four vehicles with mileage over 60,000.
