Summary and Background Information:
The City’s Public Safety Department would like to purchase a BearCat tactical armored security vehicle for use by the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team. The total cost of this vehicle is $280,000, which is comprised of $276,619 for the vehicle and an additional $3,381 for radios. Initially, this $280,000 cost would be provided by unencumbered fund balances available in the Fleet Management Fund ($207,000), the Police Forfeitures - Federal Fund ($64,100), and the Police Forfeiture - State Fund (8,900).
Use of this vehicle would be shared with the City of Brighton per the Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Brighton and the City of Commerce City Establishing a Shared Special Weapons and Tactics Team. As a result, the City of Brighton would reimburse the City of Commerce City 40% of the $280,000 cost, for a total amount to be reimbursed of $112,000. Once received, this $112,000 would be recorded as revenue in the Fleet Management Fund to help off-set the initial cost of this vehicle.
