ON THE QUESTION
Alderman O’Brien
Yes thank you Mr. Mayor. First | would like to say, | believe in repurposing some of the vehicles if they can be
used by another department. | extremely apologize to come up with this idea at this 11"° hour. But in looking at
that | see that we are going to get the trade-in value of $13,000.00 for that vehicle.
