Commissioners approve up to $55,000 for county vehicle purchase and back an IDOC grant with a support letter
Summary
The board approved up to $55,000 to purchase and upfit a vehicle described at $48,500 with $5,000–$6,000 in upfitting costs, and voted to provide a letter of support for an IDOC grant application.
J.L. Brewer told the commissioners the county planned to purchase a vehicle priced at $48,500 from Poynter with estimated upfitting costs of $5,000–$6,000; $70,000 had already been budgeted for a vehicle. Commissioners approved a motion allowing up to $55,000 to cover the purchase and upfit.
Separately, commissioners approved a letter of support for an IDOC grant. The motions passed with two yes votes.
The vehicle purchase approval authorizes procurement up to the approved cap; staff will complete the purchase and report back on final costs and upfit details.
