Salem Township approves $10,800 purchase of used Chevy Tahoe for emergency management
Summary
The Board voted unanimously to buy a used 2020 Chevy Tahoe for $10,800 plus transfer fees to assign primarily to the Emergency Management Coordinator; minutes note about 72,000 miles, former police use, lights/siren included and a potential transmission issue that may cost an estimated $4,300–$4,500 to fix.
The Salem Township Board of Supervisors on March 5 approved purchasing a used 2020 Chevrolet Tahoe for $10,800 plus transfer and title fees to serve as an Emergency Management Agency vehicle. Emergency Management Coordinator Fred Cecchini reported the vehicle has approximately 72,000 miles, is a former Irwin police vehicle with decals removed, and includes lights and a siren; the blue flashing lights would need to be changed to red for township use.
Minutes note a possible transmission problem that could require replacement at an estimated cost of $4,300–$4,500, though supervisors also recorded that "It drives and operates without an issue." The board voted unanimously to approve the purchase, and supervisors said the vehicle is intended to be assigned primarily to the Emergency Management Coordinator; the board authorized the coordinator to use it for code-enforcement tasks when necessary.
The minutes record a $400 fee to transfer the title and plate and that, as a municipality, the township will obtain a municipal plate. The purchase was moved and seconded during the meeting and approved by a unanimous vote.
