Funding is monitored through a depreciation schedule <br />established with each department. Additionally, the Fleet Division reviews <br />the acquisition in accordance with the City's Hybrid and Alternative Fuel <br />Vehicle Acquisition Policy. Currently, hybrid vehicles are available in the <br />midsize passenger vehicle category. <br /> <br />The current year's vehicle replacement list includes four Dodge Intrepids, <br />one Ford, and four Chevrolet Police sedans, model years 1987 through 1997, <br />utilized by the Police Department's Investigation Division. Due to age, <br />mileage and condition, the nine midsize passenger vehicles have been <br />approved for replacement in the current fiscal year. The Police Department <br />was provided three hybrid vehicles for evaluation and determined the <br />passenger space and acceleration is not suitable for prisoner transport and <br />securi ty. Therefore, the Police Department recommends the purchase of <br />Chevrolet Impala midsize passenger vehicles. <br /> <br />221-1 <br />
