Kiskiminetas supervisors discuss police fleet review, potential auctioning and SRO vehicle inclusion
Summary
At the April 22 work session the board reviewed plans to evaluate the entire police fleet, discussed marking new vehicles, considered auctioning Car 5 and a gray Tahoe, and noted plans to set up a forfeiture fund as a PLGIT account; public commenters urged clarity on SRO vehicle use and road conditions.
Board members at the Kiskiminetas Township work session on April 22 reviewed a planned evaluation of the township police fleet and discussed several operational details and next steps.
The board discussed setting replacement dates and parameters for vehicles, specifying that new patrol vehicles would be white and marked and that an existing unmarked Tahoe would be converted to a marked unit. Supervisors identified Car 5 and a gray Tahoe as candidates for auctioning; the minutes note consideration of an auction but record no formal motion to sell vehicles at the work session. The board also discussed establishing a forfeiture fund and noted it would be set up as a PLGIT account.
During the public-comment period, Jim Hovanik raised the use of police vehicles for the school resource officer (SRO) program; later Supervisor M. Long formally requested that SRO vehicles be included in the fleet-review process. Public commenter Natalie Henry described slipping hillsides on Ross and Martin roads and urged attention to their condition. The board placed police-vehicle auctioning and related items on the May 13 agenda for further consideration.
No binding decisions to auction specific vehicles or to transfer vehicle titles were recorded in the minutes; the record shows only deliberation and direction to include SRO vehicles in the ongoing fleet review.
