Court approves purchase of used sheriff's vehicle from Pursuit Surplus
Summary
The court approved a special bill pay to purchase a used sheriff's vehicle from Pursuit Surplus for approximately $32,408; county staff said the captain and chief deputy would inspect the vehicle before completing the purchase.
Newton County commissioners approved a special bill payment to buy a used vehicle from Pursuit Surplus for the sheriff's department. County staff reported the vehicle has approximately 31,000 miles and the listed price is about $32,408. The sheriff's captain and chief deputy planned to travel to inspect the vehicle; if it met expectations they would take a check and complete the purchase, otherwise the check would be returned and the county would continue procurement.
Staff noted the difficulty of finding comparable used vehicles of the same model and package (pursuit-equipped with lighting and other police gear), and county procurement staff emphasized transparency in the purchasing process. The court approved the special bill pay without recorded opposition in the transcript.
