Village OKs $28,000 purchase of customized Lego cars as police giveaways
Summary
South Jacksonville trustees approved a roughly $28,000 purchase of customized Lego cars to distribute at community events; Police Chief Eric Hansell said a U.S. vendor will match another bid and a prototype costs $700.
The Village Board approved the purchase of customized Lego cars for the police department to distribute at community events, with a total cost estimated at about $28,000.
Police Chief Eric Hansell told trustees the vendor is an all‑American company that matched another bid and offered a 10% discount; a prototype would cost $700. Trustee Steve Retzer moved to approve the purchase and Trustee Tom Jordan seconded; the motion passed by roll call.
Trustees discussed timing for distribution and Chief Hansell said the department will decide when to hand the items out. The minutes record the estimated total cost and the vendor arrangement; they do not list a vendor name, payment source, or the timeline for allocation of the giveaway units.
The clerk's office can confirm the vendor contract, payment source, and timeline when the village places the item on a future voucher or purchase order.
