Commission authorizes seeking lease-purchase quotes for sheriff’s vehicles
Summary
Commissioners authorized county staff to solicit lease-purchase quotes for two new and one used vehicle for the sheriff’s department; financing details to be returned for formal approval.
Crawford County commissioners authorized staff to solicit lease-purchase quotes for two new vehicles and one used vehicle for the sheriff’s department during the March 14 meeting.
County staff described the request as authorization to go out for bids/quotes for lease‑purchase financing; commissioners approved moving forward so the county can obtain quotes and return with final paperwork for approval. The county indicated one existing lease purchase remains active through 2026 and staff expected to have final lease‑purchase documents available by next Friday for formal approval.
At the meeting, a total principal amount and exact monthly payment were discussed orally but not stated clearly on the record; commissioners approved soliciting quotes and returning with finalized financing terms before executing a contract. The county noted it may trade vehicles when replacements arrive and that one vehicle would be paid for outright to ease timing.
No final lease terms were approved at the meeting; the motion simply authorized solicitation of lease‑purchase quotes and delegated authority to staff to collect bids for subsequent commission approval.
