Board questions $130,000 police vehicle line; chief says one vehicle planned this year
Summary
A board member asked whether the $130,000 listed for police cars reflects new purchases or lease payments. The chief replied in the meeting that the department plans to 'pick up' one vehicle this year; exact lease/payment details were not specified in the transcript.
A committee member questioned a $130,000 line in the proposed budget for police vehicles, asking whether that figure reflected lease payments, replacements of old cars, or new purchases.
“Chief, the 130,000 for police cars. I know we're doing the lease. Right? Are we getting new cars and loot? Right? Is that changing out old cars and or what does that entail?” a committee member asked. The chief responded, in the transcript, “This year, we're gonna pick up 1 1,” indicating one vehicle was planned to be acquired this year; the record does not include further details about lease terms or a breakdown of the $130,000 line.
Board members did not record additional specifics about the procurement or lease arrangement during the meeting; staff and the chief indicated tracking will continue in future budget discussions.
