The finance committee moved to place an emergency ordinance on tonight’s agenda to approve the purchase of two Ford utility interceptor police vehicles with a stated total cost of $89,800.
Chief Saloom told the committee the department orders one or two vehicles each year and recommended ordering two this year to lock in 2025 pricing and secure earlier placement in the manufacturing queue amid supply-chain delays.
Council members supported the request, noting state purchasing contracts allow favorable pricing. The committee recorded a roll call in favor for placing the item on the meeting agenda as an emergency; no final ordinance text or final procurement authorization was recorded in the committee remarks included in the transcript.
The purchase will use state bid pricing and is intended to maintain the department’s rolling stock and response capability; the administration said faster action helps secure equipment and pricing. Final contract/PO details and formal council approval remain to be recorded at the full meeting.
