Summary
Council approved purchase of a 2024 Dodge Durango under a state bid and authorized up to $85,000 for purchase and outfitting; two out-of-service units will be sold with proceeds returned to the city.
The Gibson City Council authorized purchase of a new police squad car, approving an expenditure not to exceed $85,000 at its May 27 meeting.
Chief Rosendahl told the council the vehicle was included in the adopted budget. The city-side state bid price for a 2024 Dodge Durango was listed as $44,979; Chief Rosendahl said outfitting the vehicle with lights and required equipment would cost about $38,000. He also said two existing squad cars are out of service and will be sold, with sale proceeds returned to the city.
