Board approves purchase of nine fleet vehicles, including patrol replacements and detective cars
Summary
Public Works presented nine vehicle purchases included in the FY 2026‑27 budget—five patrol replacements, two Major Crimes detective vehicles, one Community Justice replacement, and one transport van—and the board approved the purchases by unanimous vote.
Public Works Director Rob Brandes presented the scheduled purchase of nine vehicles through the Josephine County Fleet Program, noting the buys were included in the adopted FY 2026‑27 budget and aligned with the County’s replacement schedule.
Brandes described the request as including five replacement patrol vehicles for the Sheriff’s Office, two additional vehicles for new Major Crimes detective positions, one replacement vehicle for Community Justice outreach and transportation, and one transport van. He said vehicles are obtained through State purchasing contracts and that some replaced vehicles may be retained as backup units or evaluated for auction.
The Board voted to approve the purchase. Commissioner Richardson moved to approve the purchase of nine vehicles through the Josephine County Fleet Program; the motion passed on a roll call vote 3‑0.
