Price City approves police vehicle purchases and several equipment items during consent agenda
Summary
Council approved purchasing two 2025 Dodge Durango units for unmarked police use (total $98,081) and approved an ATV replacement and other consent agenda items. The police chief said the fleet is aging and base models were selected to meet budget constraints.
Price — During the June 11 meeting, Price City Council approved several equipment and vehicle purchases on the consent agenda, including two 2025 Dodge Durango units from AutoFarm Dodge for a total of $98,081 and a 2021 Can‑Am Outlander Pro HD ATV replacement priced at $9,501.65 through state contract.
The police chief told the council the vehicles have been on the city's capital improvement plan for years and that prior budget freezes delayed purchases. The chosen Durango base models will be used as unmarked units; the chief said the department plans a one‑vehicle rotation in the following year unless CIP allocations are adjusted. A councilmember disclosed employment at AutoFarm before the vote; that disclosure was placed on the public record.
Other consent agenda items a–J were approved by voice vote.
Next steps: procurement staff will complete purchases under the state contract and update the vehicle rotation plan for future budgeting.
