Background and Discussion:

The District Attorney’s Office was awarded the vehicle identified below through an order from the 295th District Court.  The previous request for approval by Commissioners Court to accept the vehicle was absent necessary information about the vehicle.  This RCA includes the information required to properly manage the vehicle as an asset in the County’s records.

 

Make:                     Chevrolet

Model:                     Silverado 1500 Crew Cab

Year:                     2016

VIN:                     3GCUKREC2GG359276

Value:                     $21,917

Fund:                     2076

Dept:                     54511000

 

The vehicle will by used by the DAO for investigative purposes to further the mission of the District Attorney’s Office and improve justice and safety.

 

Expected Impact:

The vehicle has some life expectancy remaining which will save a vehicular expense this fiscal year and provide an investigator transportation to complete daily responsibilities.

 

Alternative Options:

The DAO would forego the opportunity to have transportation for the designated investigator.
