Board approves budget amendment to buy a hail‑damaged vehicle for zoning department
Summary
Vernon County approved a budget amendment to purchase a hail‑damaged Ford Explorer from insurance proceeds plus general fund reserve to support the zoning department and reduce mileage reimbursement costs.
The board approved Resolution 20 26 38, a budget amendment authorizing the zoning department to purchase a hail‑damaged Ford Explorer from insurer proceeds and general fund reserve. The county’s presenter explained the vehicle has cosmetic hail damage, will be repaired (glass quote included) and will reduce reliance on mileage reimbursements for zoning staff who travel for inspections and fieldwork.
Some supervisors raised branding and presentation concerns about putting county insignia on a cosmetically damaged vehicle, but others noted the vehicle is fit for purpose and expected fuel/mileage savings would offset acquisition costs over time. Supervisors voted unanimously to adopt the budget amendment.
