The McCracken County Fiscal Court on Sept. 8 approved the purchase of a 2025 Dodge Durango V8 priced at $41,758 from Don Franklin under a state price contract for the McCracken County Sheriff's Office. The order authorized the treasurer to pay related invoices.

Court text indicates the purchase completes one of two vehicle transactions: one to complete a purchase from Lynnwood Motors (as recorded) and another to replace a vehicle that was totaled on July 25, 2025. The transcript notes the Enwood/Lynnwood name variants in the record; the court recorded that Lynnwood/Enwood Motors had been awarded a prior bid on July 14, 2025.

Why it matters: The purchase replaces county fleet inventory used by law enforcement and was approved under a state price contract to expedite procurement. Court members commented briefly on the visibility of how tax dollars are spent; the item carried on a voice vote with no roll-call tally recorded.

The meeting record did not include a line-item funding source beyond the court's authorization to pay invoices from the treasurer nor specific assignment of the purchased vehicle to a unit or shift within the sheriff's office.
