Council approves plan to replace police vehicles as part of 2026 fleet budget
Summary
The police chief requested authorization to proceed with a fleet replacement plan, and council approved moving the proposal to the business portion; later the council approved purchase authorization for replacement vehicles drawn from Lloyd, CCD and drug-equitable-sharing funds.
Police leadership asked the council to authorize replacement of patrol and investigative vehicles that have exceeded service life and to proceed with purchases in the 2026 fleet budget.
The police chief (S16) said the department’s 2026 fleet budget is $463,000 and identified a minimum replacement list of eight vehicles. The chief confirmed vehicles will be traded in when possible and outlined funding sources including Lloyd and CCD, with an estimated split that would leave specific fund balances after the purchase.
Council members expressed support and the item was placed on the business agenda for formal vote; later in the meeting the council approved the requested purchases by voice vote with no opposed recorded.
