Council member withholds support for $1.33 million vehicle purchase until fleet transition timeline is provided
Summary
A council member said they will not support the planned purchase of 25 pursuit‑rated Tahoes (C‑5; $1,325,175) until the transition study team provides a placement and timeline narrative for the fleet transition; staff said they will provide the narrative when available.
A council member told colleagues they will not vote in favor of agenda item C‑5 — a resolution authorizing the city manager to purchase 25 pursuit‑rated Tahoes from Capital Chevrolet for $1,325,175 from the fleet replacement fund — until they receive a timeline and narrative from the fleet transition study team.
"I'm not gonna be able to vote in favor of C‑5 until I have an answer on timeline," the council member said during the pre‑agenda review.
A representative who said they had met with the transition study team reported the team is "putting together a narrative of what they've done and where we're headed," and staff said delays from recent city restructuring had set back the study. The representative said they would provide the narrative to council as soon as it is available.
Councilmembers did not vote on C‑5 at the pre‑agenda meeting. The purchase remains scheduled for consideration at the council's next regular meeting; staff said they will deliver the requested timeline and narrative ahead of that vote.
