changing from an old vehicle to the new redesign Ford Utility. We will be repurposing the department radio,
State radio, and the MDT into the new vehicle.

Mayor Donchess

All right. Alderman Harriot-Gathright.

Alderman Harriott-Gathright

What's the Crown Vic? What's the year's model for these vehicles and the Ford Utility?

Brian Sojka, Fleet Maintenance Manager

The two Ford Crown Victorias are 2011 vehicles and the other two utilities - one is a 2018 and one is a 2019.
Mayor Donchess

Alderwoman Lu.

Alderwoman Lu

Thank you. Were these four on the CERF schedule?

Brian Sojka, Fleet Maintenance Manager

Yes, they are.

Alderwoman Lu

Okay. | didn't - this is the first I've heard of these. Did we get a late e-mail? Thank you. |'m all set.
Mayor Donchess

Alderman Harriott-Gathright.

Alderman Harriott-Gathright

Yeah my only question is typically like the Ford Utility is - can you tell me what that what type of vehicle that is?
For the utility? What, what...?

Brian Sojka, Fleet Maintenance Manager
What the Ford Utility is?

Alderman Harriott-Gathright

Yeah.

Brian Sojka, Fleet Maintenance Manager

It's like an Explorer. It is an Explorer but Ford does not call it an Explorer. They call it a Ford Utility
Interceptor. It's designed to do what we use it to do.

Finance Committee — 09/15/2021 Page 19

Alderman Harriott-Gathright

Alright. So 2018, 2019 and when 20217 Is that the normal span that you would keep that utility vehicle? I'm
just curious. Why would you be...

Brian Sojka, Fleet Maintenance Manager

On the 2018, we keep it roughly two and a half years and the 2019, we'll be doing the same thing but it's when
we actually purchased it is where it came out to the mileage. We try to shoot for 100,000 miles before we
trade them in because we see a lot of issues and the vehicles are out of warranty at that point. Both those the
2018 and the 2019 should be definitely over 100,000 by the time we actually take possession of the new
vehicles, and including the two Crown Victorias too.

Alderman Harriott-Gathright

Okay. So typically, you keep vehicles for 100,000 miles.
Brian Sojka, Fleet Maintenance Manager

Yes, we do.

Alderman Harriott-Gathright

Okay. Thank you for that. | think this is the first time I've heard that since I've been an Alderman but thank
you.

Mayor Donchess

All right, anyone else? Alde4woman Lu.

Alderwoman Lu

Thank you. Just why did this come so late because | see that purchasing process did in August and I'm
always uncomfortable when | have to make a decision to spend money without looking. Any idea why? Did it

just...

Karen Smith, Business Manager

Mr. Mayor, could | speak to that?
Mayor Donchess
Yeah, yeah, please do.

Karen Smith, Business Manager

| apologize. The scanner ate my original request for Finance. So between Kelly and |, we got it through. So|
apologize.

Alderwoman Lu

| see, so something got lost in...

Finance Committee — 09/15/2021

Karen Smith, Business Manager

Yes. The letters made it through, but my cover letter did not.

Alderwoman Lu

Thank you.

Mayor Donchess
