Commissioners approve up to $90,000 to purchase veterans van
Summary
The board approved up to $90,000 to buy a van for veteran services to replace an unreliable vehicle and to support transport and honor guard duties; the motion passed by unanimous voice vote.
The commissioners approved making up to $90,000 available to purchase a van for the county's veteran services program. The idea was proposed by a commissioner who said the current vehicle is unreliable and unacceptable for transporting veterans to appointments and for honor guard duties.
The motion capped the amount at $90,000 and passed by unanimous voice vote. Commissioners said details of the appropriation and the procurement process will be handled administratively and thanked those advocating for veterans. They also noted the van would be suitable for wheelchair users and immediate service needs.
The board did not specify the funding source in the meeting transcript beyond the motion itself; commissioners indicated they would work through the normal appropriation and procurement process.
