2 The City of Lathrop purchased sixteen (16) new Ford Police Interceptor Units from Folsom Lake Ford for the start-up of the new Lathrop Police Department. All sixteen (16) police vehicles were ordered in the standard black and white color scheme. Staff is seeking Council comments on moving to an off-white vehicle with Lathrop’s custom decals for all sixteen (16) Police Interceptor Units.
SUMMARY
BACKGROUND
3 In the past, under the contract with the San Joaquin Sheriff’s Office we have ordered all black or black and white vehicles.
Vehicles are extremely hot in the summer time and difficult to keep clean. Lathrop being a new Police Department will distinguish itself using the off-white color and customized logos.
Cost of the color change is approximately $3,600 per vehicle. Funds are currently budgeted in the approved PoliceTransition Budget.
