The South Charleston City Council voted unanimously to award a finance-committee bid to Midstate Chevrolet for a 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe police vehicle at a price of $62,500.

The recommendation came from the finance committee, which noted supply-chain challenges affecting police vehicle procurement. Councilmember Lillie seconded the motion; the council then conducted a roll-call vote in which members recorded “yes.” The purchase will be paid from the police forfeiture fund, and the council noted the items are within existing budget amounts for the purchase.

During the roll call, Councilman Duslippo, Councilman Spurlock, Councilman Smollett, Councilwoman Marker, Councilman Stride, Councilman Lillie, Councilman Reimer and Councilwoman Walker each recorded yes votes; the vote was declared unanimous. The motion specified one 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe at a contract price of $62,500 to be paid from police forfeiture funds.
