TITLE

The Mayor and City Council shall discuss and take action on the approval of an Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Maricopa and the City of Eloy for the transfer of a 2015 BMW Police Motorcycle from the Eloy Police Department to the Maricopa Police Department. Discussion and Action.

 

 

AGENDA ITEM DESCRIPTION

In April of 2025, a Maricopa Police Department police motorcycle suffered an engine failure while one of our officers was riding the vehicle in normal conditions. The failure was unexpected and led to the motorcycle being transported to a repair facility. A preliminary diagnosis of the motorcycle revealed that the engine will require extensive repair. As such, there is a likelihood the motorcycle will no longer be serviceable without extensive repairs, the cost of which may exceed its value. This leaves the department's Traffic Unit short a motorcycle for traffic enforcement and responding to calls for service.

 

The City of Eloy Police Department recently conducted an assessment of its police motorcycle fleet and traffic enforcement program. During the assessment, it was determined that the Eloy Police Department no longer is in need of a serviceable 2015 BMW police motorcycle and would like to transfer ownership of the surplus motorcycle to the Maricopa Police Department at no cost to the city.

 

STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends approval of IGA 25-08 City of Eloy Police Motorcycle Transfer to the Maricopa Police Department.
