Trustees reported the police truck ordered remains on backorder; Sgt Storie located a bid-compliant truck at Morrow Bros Ford and the board asked Attorney Courtney Ragland to advise whether to proceed or restart bidding. The tow ordinance remains with the attorney for approval.

Attorney Courtney Ragland was asked to determine whether the board may purchase that truck directly or must return to the formal bid process.

Trustee Kink also said the proposed tow ordinance is still pending attorney review. No procurement decision or ordinance approval was made at the May 26 meeting; the board recorded the matters for follow‑up and directed Attorney Ragland to advise on next steps.
