Sheriff's Office to use $55,805 insurance proceeds for replacement vehicle; three more cars cleared for purchase
Summary
The board approved moving $55,805 in insurance proceeds into the Sheriff's capital fund to replace a totaled vehicle and authorized the Sheriff's Office to buy three additional vehicles for $127,435 (budgeted).
Captain Miller of the Sheriff’s Office told the board the office had received $55,805 in insurance proceeds after an officer's vehicle was wrecked; he asked the Board to appropriate the proceeds into the Sheriff’s capital fund to replace the totaled vehicle. Commissioner Hood Richardson questioned whether the appropriation would increase the number of budgeted vehicles; staff clarified the payment replaces a loss and would not create a new recurring obligation. The Board approved moving the insurance proceeds to the Sheriff's capital fund.
Captain Miller also requested approval to purchase three patrol vehicles for $127,435. Miller said the purchase had already been budgeted and the vehicles were replacements and additions to the fleet. Commissioner Booth moved and the board approved the purchase. Captain Miller said the purchases are intended to keep the fleet operational and safe for deputies and the public.
