Board approves vehicle assignment for Prosecutor investigator and amends vehicle policy
Summary
The Board authorized assigning a county-owned Chevy Tahoe (previously scheduled for auction) to the Prosecutor’s Office Investigator and amended the Vehicle Use Policy to list the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office among departments authorized to possess county vehicles; assigning the vehicle increases the county fleet by one.
The Clinton County Board of Commissioners approved a request from the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office to assign a county-owned vehicle—a Chevy Tahoe slated for auction—to the Prosecutor’s Investigator and to amend the Vehicle Use Policy to list the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office as an authorized holder of county vehicles.
During committee discussion, Administrator/Controller John F. Fuentes explained that retaining a vehicle scheduled for auction would increase the county fleet by one and that the specific vehicle type (Chevy Tahoe) may be reassessed in the future. The Ways & Means Committee recommended authorization and the Board concurred.
Why it matters: Assigning a county vehicle to a law‑enforcement-related investigator centralizes resources in the Prosecutor’s Office and requires an amendment to the county’s vehicle policy. The Board approved the policy change and the vehicle assignment at the Feb. 24 meeting.
