Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve the donation from Richard Jackson,
owner of Green Planet Car Wash and Joel Booth, owner of Lakeville Super America for automated car
washing services for the City of Lakeville Police Department vehicles for the remainder of 2011.
Passage of this motion will result in the donation of automated car washing services for the City of Lakeville
Police Department vehicles for the remainder of 2011.
Overview
The Lakeville Police Department needs access to an automated car washing facility to efficiently and quickly
wash the exterior of their vehicles. Staff sent requests for quotes to all ten of the automated car washing
facilities within the City.
The City received a total of five quotes with prices ranging from no cost to $4.00 per wash. Richard Jackson,
the owner of Green Planet Car Wash at 20275 Heritage Drive, said he would donate interior and exterior car
washing services for Police Department vehicles at no cost for the remainder of 2011. Joel Booth, the owner
of the Super America at 17546 Kenwood Trail quoted $3.50 per wash and also stated in his quote that he
would match or beat any other quote. After reviewing the Green Planet Car Wash quote, Mr. Booth also
offered to donate exterior car washing services for Police Department vehicles at no cost for the remainder of
2011.
Primary Issues to Consider
• How will the use of the car washes be regulated by the car washing facilities and the Police Department?
Police Chief Vonhof has issued a Special Order that provides written direction to the Police Department
staff on the use of the car washing facilities. In addition, each facility has agreed to keep a log of all car
washes provided to the Police Department. Police Officers will be required to sign and date the log and
include their badge and car number prior to each car wash. The logs will also supply the City with the
total number of washes provided to the Police Department annually.

Dear Allyn:
GREEN PLANET HOLDINGS, LLC
January 20, 2011
This letter will serve as our quote for the washing of Lakeville Police squad vehicles. We have
great respect for the Lakeville PD and we would like very much to assist in their time management by
cleaning their vehicles for them.
We would propose the following wash package for the Lakeville PD:
• Complete wash and dry of the vehicle
• Surface protectant
• Spot -free rinse
• Vacuum seats and floors
• Dust off dash and console
We believe this is the most complete wash service the Lakeville PD will find in the City. For all
of 2011, the washes will be performed at no charge. We understand the economic times we are
currently facing and the budget constraints all businesses and municipalities are trying to manage.
This quote is for marked and unmarked squad cars only and not for any personal vehicles. We
will have the officers log a badge number so we can track the number of washes for our internal
records. We look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Richarr Jackson

Dear Allyn Kuennen,
I would like to propose a bid for the Lakeville Police Department to purchase car washes at $3.50 per wash at Lakeville Super
America for a savings of $7.49 per wash. The quoted price is for the Ultimate Wash, which includes: Hand prep, pre soak,
undercarriage, triple foam, wax, Rain X, air dry and chamois dry.
We would also like the opportunity to beat lower quotes to keep the Lakeville Police Department with our store as they have been
for so many years.
Sincerely,
oel Booth
