Ottawa County authorizes bids for up to 10 used patrol vehicles and approves purchase of two pending grant reimbursement
Summary
The board authorized solicitation of sealed bids for up to 10 used patrol vehicles at the Sheriff’s request and approved using County General funds to purchase up to two vehicles totaling $24,999, to be reimbursed from the Sheriff’s Funding Assistant Grant.
The Ottawa County Board of Commissioners on Jan. 12 approved two related actions at the request of the Sheriff's Department: authorization to solicit sealed bids for up to 10 used patrol vehicles, and approval to use County General funds to purchase up to two vehicles costing up to $24,999, with the expectation the County will be reimbursed from the Sheriff’s Funding Assistant Grant.
Commissioner Robert Clark moved to authorize solicitation of bids for up to 10 used patrol vehicles; Commissioner Scott Hilton seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. The subsequent motion to permit the interim purchase of up to two vehicles for $24,999 from County General funds, pending reimbursement from the Sheriff’s grant, likewise passed on a Clark motion and Hilton second.
The motions were recorded as routine county business; the transcript does not list the sheriff’s name, detailed vehicle specifications, vendor names, or a timetable for reimbursement. The board also approved the inventory submitted by the Sheriff’s Department during the same agenda section.
