Board accepts DHS-transferred public-safety vehicle for Operation Stone Garden use
Summary
The Board accepted a 2023 Chevy Tahoe transferred from Santa Cruz County under Department of Homeland Security Operation Stone Garden terms; the vehicle's use is restricted to Stone Garden activity, county deputies said.
Graham County supervisors unanimously accepted an unbudgeted capital transfer of a 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe offered by Santa Cruz County and transferred under Department of Homeland Security Operation Stone Garden program rules.
The county sheriff described the vehicle and said Santa Cruz County elected to leave the Operation Stone Garden program and offered the vehicle to Graham County; the sheriff said Santa Cruz County contacted the county that morning to ask when Graham County would pick it up. The sheriff and supervisors clarified that the vehicle must be used only for Stone Garden activity and not for general patrol; deputies who work Stone Garden operations will use the vehicle, which will reduce mileage on patrol vehicles.
A supervisor moved to accept the transfer; another seconded and the board approved the motion.
Action and limitations: The transfer was accepted; the transcript records the restriction that the vehicle is dedicated to Stone Garden operations and that travel and assignment will be managed by the sheriff's office. The board recorded no additional financial or maintenance commitments during the meeting.
