Commissioners approve purchase of 2026 Chevrolet Equinox for juvenile probation
Summary
The board approved the Justice Services Department's purchase of a 2026 Chevrolet Equinox from Taylor and Sons Chevrolet for $32,589.80 to be used by juvenile probation staff; funding will come from capital vehicles and cigarette tax revenues.
Bonner County commissioners approved a recommendation from Justice Services to purchase a 2026 Chevrolet Equinox from Taylor and Sons Chevrolet for $32,589.80 for juvenile probation use.
The department explained the purchase was planned—unanticipated revenue had been placed into the capital vehicles line earlier in the fiscal year—and the vendor offered a fleet discount and proximity for warranty and maintenance. Commissioners asked whether cost comparisons had been solicited; the presenter said the department had not requested competitive bids in this instance, citing past experience and discounts from the dealer as factors in the recommendation.
The board moved and approved the purchase; payment will be made from the county capital vehicles fund and cigarette tax as described in the packet.
