The Saint Albans City Council approved payment of $32,507.99 in current invoices and separately authorized $8,900 to Suds Auto Spa to outfit a 2025 Dodge Durango for the Saint Albans Police Department, the council recorded at its June 2 meeting.

During discussion about the vehicle outfitting, council members and staff noted another local operator—Lieutenant Truett, who owns a car wash—had submitted a bid that was approximately $4,000 lower, and council members asked whether the department had reviewed that pricing. Chief Gilbert confirmed that staff had spoken with other vendors.
No roll-call vote tally was recorded in the meeting transcript; minutes show the motions carried after the standard ‘‘all in favor, say aye’’ voice vote.
