TITLE: Donation of Police Explorers Program Vehicle
ABSTRACT:
The Police Department requests City Council approval to accept a donation from Mr.
Dwight Manley of Brea, California, in the amount of $49,987.01. The donation will be used
to cover all costs for purchasing and equipping a passenger van for use by the Police
Explorers program.
RECOMMENDATION:
a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because
this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly;
and
b) Accept a restricted donation in the amount of $49,987.01 for the purchase and upfit of
a Ford Transit passenger van for the Police Explorers program and deposit the funds
in the Police Equipment Fund Private Donations Account, 75304-561005.
DISCUSSION:
Replacement of the Explorers' van was planned and budgeted in FY 2019-20 due to the
age and condition of the vehicle, in accordance with City Council Policy F-9 — City
Vehicle/Equipment Replacement Guidelines. Mr. Dwight Manley, a longtime supporter of
the Police Explorers program, offered to donate funds to cover all costs to purchase and
equip the new passenger van for the Explorers' use. (Mr. Manley had also donated the
van that was decommissioned.) The vehicle replacement was handled through the
customary City of Newport Beach (City) procurement process during FY 2020-21, using
encumbered funds from FY 2019-20, where it was originally budgeted.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is a positive fiscal impact to this item: restoring City funds expended to purchase
and outfit the Explorers' van. Funds were allocated from Fund 753 (the Police Equipment
Fund) to the Police Department's Rolling Stock expenditure account (75304-911016) and
Equipment N.O.C. ("Upfit") expenditure account (75304-911024). Mr. Manley's donation
will be used to reimburse Fund 753 for the costs of the vehicle. The adopted budget
includes sufficient funding for ongoing fuel and maintenance costs for the vehicle.
