Summary
The council approved Resolution No. 1 of 2025 to buy 11 vehicles (about $447,000) from Red River Dodge under state contract; funding will come from an existing equipment bond fund allocation.
Cabot City Council adopted Resolution No. 1 of 2025 authorizing the mayor and city clerk/treasurer to enter an agreement with Red River Dodge for the purchase of 11 vehicles for the police department.
Chief Steely said six vehicles will be standard patrol cars, one will replace a 2012 vehicle, three will staff positions approved for 2025, and one will replace a K9 vehicle with known air-conditioning problems. The purchase is on the state contract available to Red River Dodge and was projected at approximately $447,000. Council members confirmed the purchase will use bond fund balances allocated for equipment in the city’s budget.
Council voted in favor by roll call; the resolution passed unanimously. The chief said the order will help restore normal fleet levels following cancellations of model-year deliveries during 2021–24.
Next steps: Finance and the police department will coordinate procurement and delivery under the state contract and provide a delivery timeline to council.
