Commissioners approve $47,900 police vehicle and $216,000 grant match for treatment program
Summary
The board authorized purchase of a 2024 Ford Explorer police package for $47,900 to address vehicle needs and approved allocating $216,000 from county account G-11-4015-16 as the county match for a Residential Substance Abuse Treatment grant.
Commissioners approved two finance-related capital items at the Nov. 6 meeting. The board authorized purchase of a 2024 Ford Explorer police package for $47,900 to fill an immediate vehicle need for the Somerset County Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff Dale Lancaster said the Explorer "will fill an immediate vehicle need" and noted he recently took delivery of the third of six ordered Tahoes.
Separately, commissioners authorized allocation of $216,000 from Account G-11-4015-16 to provide the county match required for a Residential Substance Abuse Treatment grant. The minutes record motions carrying for both items (Res. 24-215 and Res. 24-216) with the vehicle purchase motion recorded as carrying 5-0 and the grant-match allocation recorded as carrying 4-0.
The minutes do not include procurement details beyond the listed price or specify the span of time the grant-match funding will support; county staff will need to confirm contract terms and timelines.
