Community Corrections to buy 2025 Ford Escape; county to cover 10%
Summary
The commission approved a purchase up to $29,000 for a 2025 Ford Escape for Community Corrections; funding split: 80% adult KDOC, 10% juvenile KDOC, 10% county. The department will sell an older Chevy Impala on Purple Wave.
Beverly Hilbish of Community Corrections requested and received approval to purchase a 2025 Ford Escape via state contract for an amount not to exceed $29,000. The recorded funding plan assigns 80% of the cost to the adult KDOC budget fund (012-43-7420), 10% to the juvenile KDOC budget fund (015-85-7420) and the remaining 10% to the county.
Ms. Hilbish said the Escape will replace an older Chevy Impala that the department plans to sell on Purple Wave. The commission approved the purchase 3-0. The minutes note the purchase will replace a higher-mileage vehicle and that majority funding comes from KDOC program budgets.
No additional operational changes or ongoing costs were specified in the minutes; the purchase was described as a budgeted replacement to maintain departmental transportation capacity.
