Sheriff outlines vehicle replacements, says SB22 funds could cover most fleet requests
Summary
Sheriff Garrett said the department plans to replace six patrol vehicles (possibly more depending on county-wide needs) and to use SB22 funding where available; commissioners discussed whether to shift purchases across departments.
Sheriff Garrett identified fleet replacement as a capital outlay priority, listing six vehicle replacements and associated mobile IT equipment (in-car computers and docking stations). He said many of the vehicle replacements could be covered by SB22 funds and that the department was coordinating with IT on computer replacements to spread costs over two years.
Commissioners discussed whether the sheriff’s request might expand depending on vehicle needs in other departments and whether buying in this department rather than another would be more efficient. One commissioner noted the potential to roll costs among departments to reduce the county-wide impact in any single year.
