Grain Valley City aldermen approve 2026 dump truck, upgrade police cameras and advance seized-property ordinance
Summary
At its March 10 meeting the Grain Valley City Board of Aldermen unanimously approved resolutions to buy a 2026 Freightliner dump truck for Public Works and to replace police in-car and body cameras, and accepted first reading of an ordinance to establish procedures for disposition of seized, unclaimed or abandoned property.
The Board of Aldermen of Grain Valley City voted unanimously March 10 to authorize two equipment purchases and to advance an ordinance regulating disposition of seized or unclaimed property.
Alderman Darren Mills moved to approve Resolution No. R25-14, authorizing the City Administrator to purchase a 2026 Freightliner 1085SD dump truck for the Public Works Division; Alderman Rick Knox seconded the motion, which passed on a 5-0 voice vote. City staff said the vehicle will serve as a replacement through the VERP and be used for snowplowing and general public works duties.
The Board then approved Resolution No. R25-15, authorizing execution of an agreement with COBAN Technologies, Inc. to update in-car and body-worn cameras for the police department. Alderman Ryan Skinner moved the resolution and Alderman Darren Mills seconded; the motion passed 5-0. Staff described the replacements as upgrades to cameras that have “reached the end of their life” and that the new units include updated technology.
On ordinances, City Clerk Jamie Logan read Bill No. B25-02 for the first reading by title. Alderman Tom Cleaver moved to accept the first reading and bring the bill back for a second reading; Alderman Ryan Skinner seconded and the motion passed 5-0. The proposed ordinance would add Article VI, Section 135.200 to the municipal code to create a process for disposition of seized, unclaimed or abandoned property and to establish a court docket that could allow a judge to determine return of firearms to citizens in appropriate cases.
All formal votes recorded at the meeting were unanimous in favor of the actions taken on the two resolutions and the first reading of the ordinance. No amendments to the measures were reported during the meeting.
The Board conducted routine roll call, heard a single public comment about signage rules, received no substantive staff reports, and adjourned at 6:41 p.m.
