EDC staff recommends $40,100 Chevrolet Traverse to replace 2013 Ford Taurus
Summary
EDC staff recommended buying a Chevrolet Traverse for $40,100 to replace a 2013 Ford Taurus, citing passenger capacity and cargo needs. The vehicle purchase was included in the FY 2026–27 budget adopted by the board.
As part of the FY 2026–27 budget presentation, Director Ms. James told the board staff recommends purchasing a Chevrolet Traverse for $40,100 to replace the EDC's 2013 Ford Taurus.
Ms. James said staff evaluated dealerships and vehicle options "based on passenger capacity, cargo space, functionality and cost" and concluded the Traverse "best meets the transportation overall needs of the EDC while providing the greatest overall value." The proposed capital outlay was included in the budget the board approved later in the meeting.
The recommendation does not record a separate roll-call or distinct procurement vote in the transcript; the vehicle purchase is included as a project line in the adopted budget. Any procurement will follow the city's competitive procurement procedures and the normal city budget oversight process described by staff.
