Safety Department requests replacement vehicle; current Dodge Durango has 179,000+ miles
Summary
Nick Ramirez asked the board to approve a replacement for a 2005 Dodge Durango with over 179,000 miles and mechanical problems, presenting quotes in the $20,000–$40,000 range and requesting amber lights and a radio; Commissioner Gilman recommended adding a CIP line to the Safety budget.
Nick Ramirez of the Safety Department told the Madison County Board of Commissioners that the department needs a replacement vehicle, saying the current vehicle is "a 2005 Dodge Durango with over 179,000 miles and mechanical problems." Ramirez presented several quotes for low-mileage used vehicles in the $20,000–$40,000 range and noted the need to outfit the replacement with amber lights and a radio for safety.
Commissioner Duke W. Gilman said several departments need upgrades and recommended adding a CIP line to the Safety budget and re-evaluating the request once a preliminary county budget has been developed. The board did not vote on vehicle funding at the work session; no formal appropriation was recorded in the minutes.
