Board approves purchase of two police vehicles and trade/sale of older units
Summary
The board authorized buying two new police vehicles, directed that the 2020 Ford Explorer be traded in or offered for sale to another agency, and noted staff are pursuing a MIRMA grant to offset equipment costs.
City Administrator Lauren Dannar presented a police-department request at the Aug. 26 meeting for the purchase of two new patrol vehicles and associated equipment. Dannar said a quote from vendor Randy Curnow had been received and that the department’s 2020 Ford Explorer could be traded in or sold to another agency. She also said she is pursuing a MIRMA grant to help cover equipment costs.
A motion by Alderman Cameron Fast to purchase two new vehicles and to trade in or put the 2020 Ford Explorer and an older truck out for bid was seconded by Alderman Toni Schmidt. The board voted in favor with recorded 'aye' votes from Toni Schmidt, Cameron Fast, Deedie Esry and Robert Grant.
The transcript does not provide model-year details beyond the 2020 Explorer, the total purchase price, or whether the MIRMA grant application was awarded; those items were identified as follow-up tasks for staff.
