Fiscal Court approves $41,758 Dodge Durango purchase for sheriff's office

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

The minutes record that one vehicle purchase completes purchase order 503 (from Lynnwood Motors) and another replaces a vehicle totaled on July 25, 2025; the transcript references prior awards and bids in July 2025. Court discussion included routine commentary about taxpayer funds and travel; the motion was recorded as carried.

The record does not include vehicle specifications beyond the model and price, nor does it list which department line item will be charged; those details were not discussed in the Sep. 8 session.
