Commission approves one vehicle for board use, delays sheriff and EMA purchases pending SPLOST outcome
Summary
The commission approved a vehicle purchase for Board of Commissioners use but tabled two vehicles for the Sheriff and EMA until December while the county waits to see whether SPLOST funding will be available.
Commissioners voted unanimously on a motion to approve a vehicle purchase for Board of Commissioners use and to defer purchase decisions for two additional vehicles (for the Sheriff and the EMA) until December because SPLOST funding remains uncertain. Commissioner Jason Frost said the BOC purchase should proceed "so we do not lose" the unit, while action on the Sheriff and EMA vehicles was delayed pending the November referendum outcome.
County Manager Thomas Weaver and commissioners noted vehicle replacement timing is influenced by a larger fleet‑replacement cycle and by whether SPLOST revenues become available; the minutes record the motor grader had been out of service earlier in the month and that the county is trying to avoid multiple immediate replacements next budget year.
