Hagerstown council approves ballistic vests for police recruits and lab-equipment warranty
Summary
At a special session on April 8, the mayor and council approved two procurement items: purchase of 13 ballistic vests for Washington County Police Academy recruits and a three‑year extended warranty for lab equipment.
The Hagerstown mayor and council voted April 8 to approve two purchases during a brief special session.
The council approved the purchase of 13 ballistic vests for recruits currently enrolled in the Washington County Police Academy. According to the motion, funding will come from two existing grant accounts with the balance from the general fund category Firearms, Body Armor. The total purchase amount was announced as $25,915.12. The motion was seconded and passed by voice vote.
Council members then approved a three‑year extended warranty for lab equipment at a total cost of $40,926.24, to be funded from the general fund and transfers from existing lab line items. That motion also passed by voice vote.
Both items were handled in the special session before the meeting moved into the scheduled work session; the council did not record roll‑call tallies in the transcript for either item.
