Anderson council approves $200,000 transfer to buy police/animal-control vehicles
Summary
Council approved Resolution 16-25 to transfer leftover insurance funds to a capital account to upgrade police vehicles used by animal control; controller estimated roughly $200,000 would be moved but did not specify the exact number of vehicles.
The Anderson City Common Council on Dec. 11 approved Resolution 16-25, authorizing an internal transfer of funds within the general fund to allow the police department to upgrade vehicles used for animal control.
City Controller Doug Whittem told the council staff were near the end of the fiscal year and proposed moving leftover money in an insurance budget line to a capital account for light vehicles; he estimated the transfer at about $200,000 but said the police department had not finalized the number of vehicles to be purchased. The council called the question and voted unanimously to approve the transfer.
Next steps: procurement to be handled by the police department and finance staff, with specific vehicle purchases and counts to be determined.
