BY: Finance Committee, Thomas Middleton, Chairperson
IN RE: Department of Central Services-Fleet Expansion of One (1) Vehicle for County Wide
Investigative Purposes for the Sheriffs Office
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners adopted a leased vehicle policy
through Miscellaneous Resolution #93239 which was amended by Miscellaneous Resolution #94357 and
requires additional vehicles to be approved by the Board of Commissioners; and
WHEREAS Oakland County's Grant Allocation Committee, which committee prioritizes homeland
security projects under the Urban Area Security (UASI) grants, recently approved the acquisition of
approximately $411,000 in telecommunications equipment and training relating to this project; and
WHEREAS some of this equipment is required to reside in a vehicle to facilitate triangulation; and
WHEREAS the Sheriff's Office has requested the addition of one (1) vehicle to the County Fleet,
a Suburban; and
WHEREAS the vehicle and related equipment are necessary for investigative purposes; and
WHEREAS vehicle will be assigned to the Sheriff's Office Investigative and Forensic Services
Division but will be available for use by local law enforcement agencies in the region as well as the
Sheriff's Office; and
WHEREAS the estimated capital costs for the vehicle and modifications to install the investigative
equipment would be $55,688 and the estimated annual operating expenses would be $14,000; and
WHEREAS the vehicle will require a Mobile Data Computer (MDC) and mobile radio; and
WHEREAS funding within the UASI grant was insufficient to cover the full cost of the project,
including the requisite vehicle; and
WHEREAS the necessary funding to complete this project (approximately $70,000) is available
within the
Motor Pool Fund for the vehicle capital costs with funding for the $14,000 in annual operating expenses
being available in the Sheriff's Office Motor Pool line item and funding is available in the Radio
Communications Fund for the MDC and mobile radio as the communications equipment benefits the
entire region; and
WHEREAS as required by policy, the County Executive's Department of Central Services has
reviewed the request and determined it is justified within the policy.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
authorizes the expansion of the County auto fleet by one (1) vehicle with the purchase of a Suburban for
the Sheriff's Office and the addition of one (1) MDC and one (1) mobile radio.
