The Town of Spencer Board of Aldermen voted on June 5 to adopt budget ordinance 204‑2431 to replace a police vehicle that was totaled earlier in the year. Staff said the replacement would be a 2025 Ford Explorer with an estimated full cost, including tax, title and upfitting, of about $51,649.
Staff told the board that insurance proceeds combined with available funds in the existing police budget would cover the purchase and upfit if the amendment was adopted. The motion to adopt the ordinance was made and seconded and approved by voice vote; the minutes record the outcome as generally unanimous but the transcript shows no roll‑call tally.
The police department will complete acquisition and upfit and report final costs in departmental reporting.
