Summary
Following a finance-committee recommendation, the council approved buying a 2026 Ford utility interceptor for $44,886.70 for the police department and discussed repurposing an older vehicle for public works use.
LaSalle — The LaSalle City Council approved the purchase of a 2026 Ford utility interceptor for the police department at a cost of $44,886.70 after a finance committee recommendation.
The finance committee recommended the purchase and the council approved the motion by roll call. During discussion some members suggested taking one of the city’s older vehicles out of the fleet and repurposing it for public works tasks rather than trading it in, to support operations such as painting and other public-works needs.
Council members later reported positive feedback from Public Works on a recently purchased truck, saying crews appreciate the new vehicle. The purchase moves forward subject to standard procurement and inventory adjustments for the replaced vehicle.
