TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Robert 0. Maim, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT: Seized Vehicle Storage
PURPOSE
To provide adequate and safe storage of vehicles seized pursu-
ant to asset forfeiture proceedings.
BACKGROUND
For the past year, the Police Department has been renting
1D space at 200 Brook Street from the Roth 1992 Gift Trust for
the secure storage of seized vehicles . These vehicles, once
properly processed and titled, are sold at public auction and
the proceeds are used to purchase equipment to support future
drug operations .
The current site, although adequate in size, is extremely
damp due to deteriorating conditions of the structure. The
vehicles stored there have been damaged by mildew, which
depreciated their value. The Department has identified an
alternative site - Ohm's Care Care, 315 Walnut - which would
permit outside storage of some units and inside dry storage
of more valuable ones. In addition, the storage provider has
agreed to do maintenance and conditioning, such as battery
changing and starting, not presently afforded under the
present arrangement. The current lease for space at 200
Brook Street expires December 31, 1993. After that date, the
lease is subject to month-by-month renewal. The existing
lease requires a 30 day cancellation notice.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The present lease is for $700/mo. , plus electricity. The new
agreement is for $500/mo. This is a savings of $2,400 per
year, of which funds are budgeted.

em. RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that a cancellation notice be give for the
leased property at 200 Brook Street and that the City enter
into an agreement with Ohm's Car Care for seized vehicle
storage. A resolution authorizing execution of a lease with
Ohm's Care Care should be prepared for consideration.
