Council allocates police insurance proceeds toward replacement vehicle purchase
Summary
City staff said Tuscaloosa Police Department insurance proceeds will be applied to purchase equipment for a replacement vehicle; council approved the related budget revision.
The Tuscaloosa City Council approved a general fund budget revision to allocate insurance proceeds received for damaged police vehicles and apply that money toward purchasing equipment for a replacement vehicle for the Tuscaloosa Police Department.
Staff described the item as an allocation of insurance proceeds toward the cost of a new vehicle and related equipment. The transcript records staff discussion of a truck amount during the presentation, but the spoken numeric amount was unclear in the recording; staff stated that insurance proceeds for the year exceed the cost and that the allocation will fund the purchase. A motion to approve the budget revision was made, seconded and passed by voice vote; the transcript records an affirmative voice vote without a numeric roll-call.
No further budget specifics or vendor names for the replacement vehicle were recorded in the transcript.
