Commissioners adopt resolution allowing retired employees to purchase service firearms
Summary
The Tippecanoe County commissioners adopted a resolution permitting retired employees to purchase county-issued firearms at fair market value, with proceeds to go to the general fund.
Tippecanoe County commissioners on Feb. 18 adopted a resolution authorizing the transfer of county-owned service firearms to retiring employees at fair market value, the sheriff told the board.
The sheriff said the resolution covers cases in which an individual had prior service with another agency and later served the county, allowing them to purchase their county-issued firearm upon retirement. "This would allow us to get a fair market value of their firearm," the sheriff said.
The sheriff said money from such sales would be deposited into the county general fund and could be used to purchase replacement firearms. The board moved to adopt the resolution and approved it by voice vote; the transcript recorded the resolution number as "20 25 dash 0 6" but did not provide additional citation details.
No roll-call vote or individual tallies were recorded in the public transcript. The county did not provide guidance at the meeting about the appraisal process for fair market value or any limitations on eligibility beyond the retirement scenario described by the sheriff.
