Summary

After reviewing two used utility vehicles at Win Motors, the committee approved a resolution to appropriate up to $15,000 from unassigned funds to purchase a maintenance vehicle and directed staff to surplus older equipment as available.

Committee members reviewed used utility vehicles at Win Motors and discussed trade-offs between newer, higher-mileage vehicles and older models that may lack available parts. Chair introduced a draft resolution "that we would appropriate $15,000 to purchase the maintenance vehicle" from unassigned funds into the motor-vehicle line.

A motion to appropriate up to $15,000 and to move excess funds to offset cost was made, seconded and approved. Members asked staff to pursue surplus options for older county vehicles and to confirm final price and title transfer before the funds are moved.
