Commission accepts law enforcement report; authorizes purchase of new F‑250 patrol truck
Summary
The commission accepted the law enforcement committee report, acknowledged operational updates and fee collections (~$3,700), and authorized purchase of a 2025 Ford F‑250 (single bid $57,737.60) with authorization up to $58,000 pending state approvals.
The commission accepted the law enforcement committee's monthly report, which covered patrol equipment, dock plans for Green Island, boater safety class schedules and staffing notes. The committee reported a recent collection of overdue fees of about $3,700.
The commission also considered Resolution 2025‑11 to authorize purchase of a 2025 Ford F‑250 to support marine‑patrol operations, vessel trailering and prisoner transport. Staff reported a single bid from Greenwich Ford for $57,737.60; the resolution authorizes the executive director to sign a purchase order not to exceed $58,000, consistent with state contract pricing and contingent on New York State OGS and Division of Budget approvals. A correction was made on the record clarifying the intended vehicle model (F‑250, not F‑450). The motion passed by voice vote.
Implementation steps include pursuing required approvals with state procurement offices and coordinating vehicle delivery and outfitting for marine patrol use.
