Can they go through a wash occasionally to maintain it. That’s just as important as an oil change.
Alderman Siegel
It sounds like a legitimate concern. What you have basically done is, the reason I’m seeing such a low
mileage, is it’s not that there’s not mileage being accumulated, it’s just been shifted to other automobiles that
were more reliable.
Ms. Peek
Yes.

At $25,080; at .57 cents per mile the break-even point would be 44,000 miles. The Ford Taurus had 80,000 on
it at the end of its life with the city so you could say that the cost that we are paying is for about half of the life
of the vehicle if we assume that we will get similar use out of the new Fusion. The question then becomes
what about maintenance. | assume that these come with a manufacturer's warranty?
Ms. Peek
| would assume so as well.

So you do have some sort of historical information that says this is how much we paid for mileage? That would
serve uS aS a good barometer. | mean if you are spending $25,000 in mileage reimbursement then it
potentially could make sense to purchase a new vehicle.

mean it’s clear that rust didn’t happen overnight and nothing was done so we are changing the oil but not even
addressing obvious problems. | find that tremendously weird.
Mr. Kooken
| would like to point out that of the work orders showed 35 labor hours at about $900 and that was for rust
repair in 2014 and that was repaired so it could pass the state inspection back then and the pictures you saw
today are new pictures where that repaired rust is kind of out of control.

What exactly are we replacing, the whole light fixture itself or just the lights?
Mr. Kooken
It’s the mounting post and the actual lights themselves.
Alderman Siegel
Are we using 4,000K lights in this?
Mr. Kooken
They are using the same as on the Main Street sidewalk so | don’t believe those are 4,000K; | would have to
follow-up and provide you with that information.
