Summary

At the May 28 meeting Police Chief Stigall reported a drug-task arrest involving a substance transcribed as 'Phytanyl' and the council approved surplusing a 2015 Ford Explorer police vehicle; the meeting minutes record the surplus motion passed unanimously but do not list a vote tally.

Police Chief Stigall told the council the department had been involved in a recent drug-task arrest involving distribution of a substance transcribed in the minutes as "Phytanyl." Chief Stigall also asked the council’s permission to surplus a 2015 Ford Explorer police vehicle. Mayor Julie Struck entertained the motion to surplus the vehicle and the minutes record that the motion “passed unanimously,” though the minutes do not list a numeric vote tally for that action.

The transcript does not provide additional operational details about the drug task arrest—such as arrest numbers, location, or charges beyond the single-word substance reference—or identify who formally moved or seconded the surplus motion. The minutes record this item under department head reports and do not list further follow-up tasks or timelines for disposal of the vehicle.
