ITEM 9 - APPROVE SPECIFICATIONS AND LETTING OF BIDS FOR POLICE CARS Chief Kerpan explained the specifications as outlined in the packets, and by reference made a part hereof. Robbie Fickle asked if the specifications could be used by all manufacturers to which Chief Kerpan replied yes, that some would have part of the specifications as regular equipment, and some would be alternatives, but all would be able to cover these specifications. He indicated all of the specifications were based on full size cars. Mr. Charney suggested that the specifications for motor size be checked into to make sure they would not limit any cars from bidding; that the specifica- tions had 351 motor and Dodge is 360. Chief Kerpan indicated that was the reason for listing bidder exceptions, so they could make changes. Mr. Spencer indicated the only way we could get heavy duty equipment would be to order a fleet of cars, not on two cars. He feels these cars will come off the floor, unless we go into Tulsa Police Department or Oklahoma Highway Patrol. When asked what he would prefer, Chief Kerpan indicated he would prefer Ford LTDS, Chevrolet Impala, or Plymouth Grand Fury. Mayor Spencer asked what would be the next smaller car under these three, and Chief Kerpan said he would not like to see smaller cars due to the size of several of the officers. Mrs. Fickle suggested that maybe we should consider a physical fitness program for the large officers instead of going to large cars. Chief Kerpan indicated that they were presently initiating a physical fitness program, but this would not shrink the height of the officers. Mayor Spencer suggested taking bids on three full size automobiles and one on middle size vehicle. It was also suggested that we purchase three vehicles, not four as requested by Chief Kerpan. Motion was made by Robbie Fickle, seconded by Robert Wrestler, to authorize the City Manager and the Police Chief to submit the specifications to at least three companies for bids for three full size vehicles.

He agreed that they would put up a $30,000 bond to remove the road if not in correctly, after platting process.
