SUBJECT: Council Agenda, May 26, 1988
ITEM: 9B. Consider a resolution providing for license plate exemption
of certain vehicles from requirements of Article 6701M -2,
V.T.C.S., Identification of City and County -owned vehicles
and Heavy Equipment..
STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: Wes Wolff
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The State Department of Motor Vehicles has once
again changed the rules that we operate under in
obtaining regular exempt license plates for the
police cars. Originally, all we had to do to
obtain these plates was apply in person at the
Regional Office of DMV in North Austin and they
would issue the plates "on the spot ". Last
August, DMV changed the interoffice "rules" that
% they operate under'and began requiring that we
apply in writing to the DMV headquarters. In
the original paperwork that they sent us, they
required a City Council resolution that listed
° all of the vehicles to be licensed with regular
exempt plates as well as all of the other
information that we included in the original
resolution ( #1064R). We sent that to them and
they issued plates to us under that resolution.
In March, 1988, I received a letter saying that
they had again changed the rules they wanted to
operate by and were requiring that the new resolution
contain different information.
We will have to renew the resolution once a year
so that DMV will have a current resolution on file
for each year.
