Cumberland City board discusses donating surplus patrol car; decision deferred pending written request
Summary
A request to donate a silver surplus Crown Victoria to a neighboring police department was introduced; board members asked for a formal written request and confirmation that insurance would transfer before voting.
During the Aug. 1 meeting, a board member raised the possibility of donating a silver surplus patrol car to another jurisdiction after Cumberland City police signaled a need for a vehicle. The speaker said the city's white Crown Victoria was currently borrowed.
Board members advised obtaining a written request from the recipient and verifying that insurance would transfer with the vehicle to protect the city from liability. The group agreed to wait for a letter outlining the donation terms before taking a vote.
No motion to transfer the vehicle or vote outcome was recorded in the transcript; the board recorded the direction to require formal documentation and insurance confirmation before any transfer.
