Southaven board authorizes police vehicle purchases and declares fire vehicles surplus
Summary
A resolution authorizing police purchases through an intergovernmental procurement was approved and a separate resolution declared three fire department vehicles surplus. Board discussion referenced procurement under Mississippi code before carrying both motions.
The Board of Aldermen approved a resolution authorizing the purchase of police vehicles via an intergovernmental procurement source (Missouri Highway Patrol procurement referenced). City staff described the purchase as an intergovernmental purchase "pursuant to 31 7 13, Mississippi code" and presented per‑vehicle pricing in discussion. The board moved, seconded and approved the resolution by roll call.
Separately, the board approved a resolution to declare three fire‑department vehicles surplus under cited state code language (transcript mentions 17‑25‑25). The surplus resolution was moved and seconded and carried by roll call.
Staff and several aldermen briefly commented that the vehicle pricing represented a favorable deal and moved the resolutions forward; the mayor noted the procurement method and confirmed the authorized mayoral signature on the purchase resolution.
