Committee approves Stonegarden-funded patrol truck purchase and detention wiring cleanup
Summary
Using Stonegarden grant funds, the committee approved buying and upfitting a 2024 Chevy Silverado police-package patrol truck for $70,000 and waived county purchasing policy; it also approved a $4,959.21 Johnson Controls quote to clean up detention wiring.
The Chippewa County Finance Committee approved a Stonegarden-funded purchase of a 2024 Chevy Silverado police-package patrol truck and necessary upfitting at a total cost of $70,000 and waived the county purchasing policy because the vehicle and upfit had prior state and federal grant approval. The committee moved and approved the purchase by voice vote.
The committee also approved a $4,959.21 proposal from Johnson Controls to tidy old wiring on the jail’s access-control boards—work recommended following a building-and-grounds walkthrough that identified loose connections. Commissioners moved the Johnson Controls proposal and approved it by voice vote.
Both purchases are to be funded as described in the meeting packet: the vehicle with Stonegarden grant funds and the wiring cleanup with county funds as presented in the quote. The minutes record no further conditions or roll-call tallies for these approvals.
