Board approves $700 monthly stipend and six-year lease for task-force vehicle
Summary
Crown Point approved a $700-per-month vehicle stipend from a task-force partner and a six-year lease-purchase to provide a vehicle for an assigned task-force officer; staff said the stipend will cover the lease payments.
The Crown Point Board of Public Works and Safety approved a vehicle stipend agreement and a lease-purchase arrangement on April 1 that together will fund a task-force officer’s vehicle.
Chief told the board the city has long assigned an officer to the task force and that the partner (recorded in the transcript as "Haida") will now provide a $700 monthly stipend to the city for the officer’s vehicle. That stipend, Chief said, is intended to cover the monthly lease cost. "This will go for just once a year... the lease for the vehicle... I believe it's a six-year lease for the vehicle," Chief said.
Jim Crook and Alex both reported they had reviewed the lease paperwork. The lease-purchase agreement with Crossroad Bank in the record lists a financed total of $48,838; Alex recommended approval. The board approved the stipend agreement and the Crossroad Bank lease by voice votes.
The board recorded no named roll-call tallies in the transcript; votes were taken by voice and recorded as passing. Staff said the stipend and lease together fund the department’s provision of a vehicle for the task-force officer.
