Council buys out leased 2022 Ford Explorer for police detective unit ($28,121)
Summary
The council approved purchasing a low‑mileage 2022 Ford Explorer previously on lease from Enterprise Fleet Management for use in the police detective bureau for $28,121; Chief Sheller said funds are available in vehicle maintenance lines and only lights need to be added.
The Lantana Town Council approved purchasing a 2022 Ford Explorer from Enterprise Fleet Management for the police department's detective bureau, citing the vehicle's low mileage and good condition. Chief Sheller said the vehicle buyout avoids wait time and is less costly than buying and outfitting a new vehicle.
Chief Sheller told the council he had funds available in the vehicle maintenance line to transfer the car to the police department and estimated outfitting costs (lights and minimal equipment) at around $3,500. The motion to purchase the vehicle for $28,121 passed 5‑0; staff will proceed to buy out the lease and outfit the vehicle for detective use.
