Commission approves one vehicle for board, delays sheriff and EMA purchases pending SPLOST
Summary
The Commission approved a vehicle purchase for Board of Commissioners use and tabled two other vehicle purchases for the Sheriff and EMA until December while SPLOST outcomes remain uncertain; the board voted unanimously on the BOC vehicle motion.
Commissioners approved one vehicle for use by the Board of Commissioners, with the motion noting the purchase would use credit so the county would not “lose” the opportunity. Two other vehicles — one for the Sheriff and one for Emergency Management (EMA) — were tabled until December because the county is uncertain whether SPLOST (special-purpose local-option sales tax) funding will be available.
“Motion to approve vehicle for BOC to use credit SO we do not lose, and table other two vehicles for Sheriff and EMA until December, since we do not know if SPLOST will pass,” Commissioner Frost moved; the motion passed unanimously. The County Manager said leasing returns and fleet needs are being managed to avoid replacing multiple vehicles in a single budget year.
