ITEM 6: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO THE
PURCHASE OF TWO VEHICLES FOR THE OWASSO POLICE DEPARTMENT.
Deputy Chief Motto presented the item. He said that the budget for FY 2001-2002 contains
$140,000 in funding for the purchase of police vehicles. Because the department is planning to
implement a two-person traffic division, vehicles will be needed for these officers. The
Oklahoma State Bid for 2001 police vehicles is in effect until October, but is limited to any
vehicles that dealers may currently have. The full size police vehicle for 2001 is the Ford Crown
Victoria P-71 Police Interceptor. The 2001 Oklahoma State Bid dealership for this vehicle is Joe
Cooper Ford in Midwest City, OK. That dealership quoted the State Bid price as $25,900 per
vehicle. Other Ford dealerships were also contacted, with Southwest Ford in Weatherford, TX
quoting a price of $24,500. The City Attorney advised that there would be no problem with
purchasing the vehicles from an out-of-state agency since the quoted price is lower that the
Oklahoma State Bid. Mr Brogdon said that although he is concerned about the amount of money
being spent in litigation involving the police department and will be watching that closely, he is
in favor of the new vehicles. Mr Brogdon moved, seconded by Mr Williams, to approve the
purchase of two fully equipped 2001 Ford Crown Victoria police vehicles from Southwest Ford,
Weatherford, TX, in the amount of $24,500 each, for a total cost of $49,000, and authorization
for payment.

ITEM 7: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO AN
AMENDMENT TO THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2001-
2002.
Ms Bishop said that any purchasing transaction not completed by the end of a fiscal year must be
cancelled or transferred to the next fiscal year. Capital purchases budgeted in FY 2000-2001 and
still in progress at year end need a budget amendment to move the budget to FY 2001-2002. On
April 3, 2001, the City Council awarded a $50,983 bid to Tulsa Freightliner for a dump truck for
the street department with a 120-day delivery. The funds are in the FY 2000-2001 budget and
are requested to be re-budgeted in the FY 2001-2002 budget. Mr Williams moved, seconded by
Mr Brogdon, to approve an amendment to the FY 2001-2002 budget increasing the General
Fund, Street Department expenditures by $51,000.
AYE: Williams, Brogdon, Barnhouse
NAY: None
Motion canied 3-0.
ITEM 8: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO CITY
COUNCIL APPROVAL TO INCREASE FEES COLLECTED BY THE COURT.
Ms Bishop presented the item. Effective July 1, 2001, the Council on Law Enforcement
Education and Training (CLEET) requires that all municipal courts collect a Forensic Science
Improvement Assessment Fee pursuant to Senate Bill 753 and Senate Bill 546, in the amount of
$5.00. In addition to the appropriate fine, the Court currently assesses $15.00 in court costs and
$10.00 for CLEET fees. The additional $5.00 will bring the total fees collected by the Court for
CLEET to $15.00. Mr Williams moved, seconded by Mr Brogdon, to approve the increase in the
amount of fees collected by the Owasso Court to $15.00 to confonn with the recent changes in
CLEET fees as mandated by Oklahoma State Statutes.
