Alderman O’Brien
Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Alderman Lu brought up a very good point and maybe the Police Department can
speak on this equally as well. But knowing vehicles and everything, yes, they do shoot for the 100,000 miles
but you’ve got to remember that these vehicles, some of them, are running almost 24/7. So it’s not just
mileage it’s you compensate what they call “engine hours”. So you have to take that into consideration. So
they may be approaching like | say the 100,000 but their engine hour potential is well up there. So it’s just a
point for information. Thank you.
