LETTER FROM POLICE CHIEF SEALS RE• REQUEST TO SELL TRUCKS The Board received the following letter: March 27, 1973 Board of Public Works County -City Building 227 West Jefferson Boulevard South Bend, Indiana 46601 Gentlemen: I would like to request at this time that two (2) 1962 Ford Panel Trucks, donated to the South Bend Police Department by Indiana Bell on October 17, 1969, be deleted from our fleet. Serial numbers of the trucks are E14SH239010 and E 14SH299201. REGULAR MEETING APRIL 2, 1973 The above named trucks are in extremely poor condition and neither could pass the Indiana Safety Inspection. They are not'used except for once or twice a year when the vice squad takes them out. It then becomes expensive because we need to get them in operating condition. I feel that since we now have the new Van, this equipment could be used for this purpose. The two trucks do nothing more th�n take up needed space. I have received a high bid of $55.00 each for the two trucks, and would appreciate acceptance of this bud due to the expense of upkeep of the trucks and due to the parking facilities at the Municipal Services Facility. Any cooperation would be appreciated. Respectfully, Robert W. Seals, Chief of Police /s Robert J. Urban Services Division Chief e-i Upon motion made, seconded and carried, the Board authorized the Police Department O to sell the two trucks. Q LETTER FROM PAUL T.
