Title
AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF LEE’S SUMMIT, MISSOURI AND THE RAYTOWN C-2 SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR LEASE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE. (F&BC 11/7/16)
Body
Issue/Request:
The Raytown C-2 School District operates a police career program that serves several metropolitan area school districts, including the Lee's Summit R-7 school district. The Raytown C-2 School District is seeking a police vehicle for scenario training in parking lots for this the police career program. The Lee's Summit Police Department has a vehicle available from City inventory for temporary lease to help facilitate the program, potentially improve recruitment, and aid in police education.
Key Issues:
The Raytown C-2 School District, Herndon Career Center Police Science program is in need of a police vehicle to help further the education of youth interested in law enforcement. Funding for this program is limited. This program helps engage high school students in a law enforcement career, benefiting policing for the future. The Raytown C-2 School District is willing to lease and fully insure a vehicle.
Proposed Committee Motion:
I move to recommend to City Council approval of AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF LEE’S SUMMIT, MISSOURI AND THE RAYTOWN C-2 SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR LEASE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE.
Background:
The Lee's Summit Police Department actively recruits youth throughout the metropolitan area. Chief Travis Forbes participates as an Advisory Board Member for the Raytown C-2 School District, Herndon Career Center Police Science program in order to help improve recruitment and further the education of youth interested in law enforcement. The Herndon Police Science Program serves Lee's Summit R-7 School District students, as well as students from several other districts. The program has also historically included minority students from throughout the area. Jim Ripley, Director of the Police Science program, has expressed a need for a police vehicle to use in scenario based events set up in a parking lot. The City of Lee's Summit is able to contribute to the program by leasing a vehicle from the police department fleet for $1 per year for one year, with four additional one year terms. Lee's Summit Police Department markings will be removed from the vehicle during this period of time. Once the lease has expired, the City of Lee's Summit will accept the vehicle back and it will be sold through normal City processes. The Police Department will benefit from the lease by furthering youth education in policing and improving recruitment, including among minority populations.
Impact/Analysis:
The lease will generate $1 per year for the City of Lee's Summit. The City will retain rights to terminate the lease and also to sell the vehicle once it is returned at the end of the lease. The vehicle will depreciate at an unknown rate over the course of the lease, reducing its final value at sale. The estimated value at the time it this vehicle was taken out of service was $6025.00. Since this unit has almost 100,000 miles the decrease in value is minimal.
