Committee approves buying two hail-damaged county vehicles, funds identified

Jun 18, 2026

The committee approved buying back a Ford Explorer (net county contribution of $4,361 after project funds) and a Dodge Durango transfer valued at about $6,000 from the sheriff's insurance settlement; funding was identified from previously authorized bond project funds and general fund reserve.

The full story

Committee members approved two separate motions to reacquire hail-damaged vehicles for county use. The sheriff's office offered vehicles the department could buy back from the insurer; the committee agreed to purchase a Ford Explorer for a $5,300 buyback plus glass work and to fund the net difference by using $2,910 from project bond proceeds and $4,361 from the general fund reserve. A member moved and the committee seconded approval; the vote carried.
