The Dawsonville City Council on July 21 approved the purchase of 12 tint meters requested by the Georgia State Patrol. City Manager Jacob Evans said each unit costs $169.99 plus about $50 estimated shipping, and the total request is approximately $2,078.

The council did not discuss funding source in detail during the meeting; Evans presented the purchase for council approval as a standard equipment contribution to the Georgia State Patrol.
