Supervisors approve purchase of a new patrol vehicle for sheriff's office
Summary
Kossuth County supervisors approved purchase of a Chevrolet Silverado for the sheriffs office, using a government contract; the motion carried without recorded opposition.
The Kossuth County Board of Supervisors approved the purchase of a new Chevrolet Silverado for the sheriff's office at the May 27 meeting.
A county staff member presented details from the meeting packet, saying the vehicle is available under a government contract and that the sheriff's office plans to proceed once the board gives approval. The packet listed a trade-in price of approximately $39,016 and identified the vendor under a government contract.
The board heard that the vehicle will be upfitted locally and that delivery and setup likely will take place mid to late summer. Board members and staff discussed supply constraints experienced during the COVID period and said the county typically obtains two patrol vehicles per year.
A supervisor moved to approve the purchase; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The chair said, "Motion carries." The county clerk will complete purchase paperwork under the referenced government contract.
No further conditions or amendments were attached to the approval.
