Beaver Borough Council unanimously approves generator, police vehicle and appointments
Summary
Council voted unanimously by voice vote to appoint Alexander Andres as alternate delegate, authorize a 50 kW fire department generator purchase not to exceed $31,893.77, approve Resolution 2026-03 supporting America250PA and purchase a 2026 Ford police vehicle for $44,280.00.
Beaver Borough Council on Feb. 10 approved a package of routine motions by voice vote, including personnel appointments and equipment purchases that council said were included in the 2026 budget.
Motions passed unanimously: the council appointed Alexander Andres as the borough’s alternate delegate to the Beaver County Regional Council of Governments; it ratified authorization for the Borough Manager to purchase a 50 kW diesel generator for the Fire Department from Generator Specialist, Inc., at a cost not to exceed $31,893.77; it approved Resolution 2026-03 in support of the Pennsylvania Commission’s America250PA program; and it authorized the purchase of a 2026 Ford police vehicle (VIN ending in 81659) for $44,280.00 per Laurel Ford Invoice #2026015, described in the motion as budgeted in the 2026 budget and consistent with the established police vehicle rotation. A motion to adjourn passed and the meeting ended at 8:05 p.m.
Manager Dan Madgar also noted a Motorola quote of approximately $12,000 for new police body cameras and said one of the 2026 police vehicles had arrived while a second was still pending. The council amended the agenda at the start of the meeting to add the police vehicle purchase motion before voting.
Why this matters: these approvals commit budgeted funds for public-safety equipment and confirm a borough representative to the county regional council. Council recorded voice votes for all motions; no roll-call tallies were provided.
