Commissioners approve purchase of used 2015 Chevrolet Suburban for coroner duties
Summary
The board authorized purchase of a used 2015 Chevy Suburban, described as a seven-passenger, dual-purpose vehicle to serve primarily as a coroner vehicle; a purchase price of $20,000 was discussed in the meeting.
The County Commissioners voted Aug. 13 to approve the sheriff’s office request to purchase a used 2015 Chevrolet Suburban to serve primarily as a coroner vehicle. The board approved the purchase by voice vote after a brief discussion about the vehicle’s purpose and price.
During the contracts and procurement discussion, a commissioner said the sheriff’s office wants to buy "a used 2015 Chevy Suburban for coroner vehicle." Another commissioner asked whether the vehicle would be used for coroner duties or crime investigation; a colleague replied that it was "dual purpose" but "mostly coroner." Meeting remarks stated the Suburban is a "7 passenger" vehicle with three-row seating. A later exchange indicated the seller would accept $20,000; the transcript records the figure as "20,000 even" but did not provide a purchase order, vendor name, or funding line-item during the meeting.
A motion to approve the purchase was made and seconded; the board voted "Aye" and the motion carried. The transcript did not record a roll-call vote or the specific capital fund line that will pay for the purchase. Commissioners did not provide additional conditions on vehicle use or custody in the meeting.
The public transcript supplies the vehicle model year, seating capacity, and an approximate price but does not include vendor details, inspection reports, or authorization paperwork; those are listed as not specified and would typically appear in procurement records.
