Whitehouse council approves resolution to pursue patrol vehicle grant for police department
Summary
Council authorized a resolution supporting a state grant estimated at $27,500 toward a new patrol vehicle and equipment; chief said total vehicle and outfitting cost is roughly $60,000 and the vehicle will be integrated into the city's fleet program.
The Whitehouse City Council on May 27 approved a resolution supporting a patrol-vehicle grant application for the police department.
Police Chief Robeson told the council the department had been offered an estimated $27,500 toward the purchase and outfitting of a patrol vehicle; the total cost for the vehicle plus equipment is approximately $60,000. The resolution allows staff to proceed with the grant steps required by the state and indicates the city will use the funds in the 2025-26 budget year if the grant is awarded.
Council members asked whether the vehicle would be added to the city’s existing fleet-management arrangement; the chief confirmed it would be managed through the city’s fleet program and could be returned to the lease program at end of life. The council approved the resolution unanimously.
