Police: new Tahoe expected in 60–90 days; public asks about loan and trade-in
Summary
Chief Cass told council the department's new police Tahoe should arrive in 60–90 days. Audience members asked about loan details and why the city would replace the 2019 Tahoe rather than repair it; staff said engine hours—rather than mileage—drive wear.
Chief Cass reported the department's new Tahoe will arrive in 60 to 90 days.
Audience members asked how much was borrowed to finance the vehicle and questioned whether the department should trade in the 2019 Tahoe after recent engine work. Council members and Chief Cass explained that hours of operation, rather than mileage alone, factor into a vehicle’s wear and tear and that trade-in and financing decisions reflect overall fleet-management needs.
The council did not record a separate vote on the vehicle purchase at the meeting; the department said delivery is expected within the stated timeframe.
