Rawlins County authorizes sheriff's office to use Public Safety Vehicle fund for two patrol vehicles
Summary
The Rawlins County Board of Commissioners approved use of the county's Public Safety Vehicle Fund to purchase and outfit two new sheriff's vehicles after a request from the sheriff's office. The motion passed unanimously by recorded procedure.
Undersheriff Jesse Niemeth asked the Rawlins County Board of Commissioners on June 1 to allow the sheriff's office to use the county's Public Safety Vehicle Fund to buy and outfit two new patrol vehicles. County Clerk Rachel Finley said Sheriff Catlyn Wahrman had previously requested the same use of funds during the 2026 budget workshop.
Commissioner Lincoln Pochop moved to authorize spending from the Public Safety Vehicle Fund; Commissioner Alan A. Solko seconded the motion, which the board carried. The meeting record does not show a roll-call tally; minutes record the motion as carried.
The board did not attach conditions or list specific vehicle models or equipment in the meeting record. No member raised a request for a formal bid or vendor at the time of the motion. The record shows no public comment opposed to the expenditure and no additional appropriations were identified during the meeting.
The next regular meeting is June 15, 2026, when the board may receive additional procurement details or contracting approvals if staff bring them forward.
