Sheriff authorized to advertise 2013 Explorer for sale; replacement purchase contingent on council funding
Summary
Greene County commissioners authorized the sheriff to advertise a high‑mileage 2013 Ford Explorer as surplus and allowed the sheriff to place a purchase order for a replacement vehicle, contingent on county council approval of funds.
The Greene County Board of Commissioners authorized the sheriff to advertise a 2013 Ford Explorer as surplus for sale and to place a purchase order for a replacement vehicle, subject to county council approval of funding.
The sheriff’s office representative told commissioners the surplus Explorer has roughly 300,000 miles and that the office plans to advertise the vehicle locally. Commissioners approved a motion to permit advertising and to allow the sheriff to proceed with ordering a replacement vehicle pending formal council funding approval.
Why it matters: The action allows the sheriff to begin fleet turnover steps. The purchase remains contingent on the county council approving the necessary funds, which the sheriff’s office expects to secure.
What happens next: The sheriff’s office will advertise the old vehicle and pursue council approval for the replacement purchase; the motion recorded in the meeting makes the purchase authorization contingent on that funding approval.
