Farmville approves financing for four new police vehicles
Summary
The board approved a resolution to finance four police vehicles (covering vehicles and outfitting) after staff corrected a typo in the packet that had listed five; the financing is planned as a lease purchase with Truist.
Town manager Oakes told the board that a cover letter in the packet mistakenly listed five vehicles; the lease‑purchase financing is for four police vehicles, as discussed in the budget process. "That should be 4," Oakes said, noting the finance proposal from Truist and favorable interest terms.
Commissioners asked about fleet size and whether the financing met policy and year‑end tests; staff confirmed the purchase fits the plan to rotate aging vehicles. Commissioner Smith moved to approve the financing for four police vehicles and the motion passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
The resolution authorizes a financing arrangement with Truist for the purchase and outfitting of the four vehicles; staff said they will monitor future fleet needs as other units age.
