Commission approves purchase of a 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe for police fleet at about $58,101
Summary
The commission approved buying a 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe for patrol at $57,005.97 vehicle price (about $58,101.18 with taxes) and discussed ~$26,000 in equipment costs; the chief said the Tahoe offers more interior room and better prisoner‑compartment functionality than alternatives.
The Warrenton City Commission approved a goods and services contract to purchase a 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe 4x4 patrol vehicle under state contract pricing. The police chief told commissioners the current vehicle quote is $57,005.97 for the chassis and equipment pricing that brings the total vehicle cost with taxes to about $58,101.18; he also said the departmental fit‑out for equipment is approximately $26,000.
Commissioners asked why a Tahoe was chosen rather than a Ford F‑150 or Dodge Durango. The chief said the Tahoe provides substantially more interior room and better functionality for patrol duties and prisoner transport, and that departmental experience supported that choice. The motion to approve the purchase was moved, seconded and passed.
