Troup County approves second round of vehicle lease-purchase program
Summary
The Troup County Board of Commissioners authorized a second round of a vehicle lease‑purchase program, approving roughly 35 units across departments to address aging fleet needs and allow flexible equipment types, the board heard on July 1.
The Troup County Board of Commissioners on July 1 authorized a second round of its vehicle lease‑purchase program, approving the county to proceed with roughly 35 vehicles across departments.
County staff presented the request, saying the program has been "very successful" and that the second round will address aging vehicles across departments, including the sheriff's office. "35 was just how we went down through the departments and their needs," a staff speaker said, adding the exact mix may vary by equipment type. The board approved the motion to move forward by voice vote.
Board members asked that staff retain flexibility about vehicle styles while keeping the overall count roughly the same. The request was presented as an authorization to proceed with purchases under an existing contract; staff said they already have a contract in place with the vendor. The board carried the motion without recorded roll‑call votes.
The next step is for staff to execute purchases and return to the board with contract details and any changes in vehicle types or quantities.
