Committee advances three vehicle purchases for sheriff's office and a risk-management replacement

The committee voted to advance three vehicle purchases and a replacement squad unit to the full board. Procurement staff reported the replacement 2026 Chevy Equinox (to replace a totaled county vehicle) will be paid from the risk-management fund and listed at $31,310. Two additional vehicles for the sheriff's enforcement team — a GMC Terrain ($32,009.45) and a Chevy Colorado ($40,002.55) — were presented as additions to the fleet and identified as funded from state forfeiture funds held by the sheriff's office.
