Funds totaling $79,000 are budgeted in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2012-2013 Fleet Management Fund for the purchase and equipping of these vehicles. The vehicles cost $63,181.20. The remaining budgeted funds of $15,818.80 will be used to outfit the vehicle with customary electronics and any other necessary equipment.
