Board approves $53,009.49 van purchase for animal services using donation funds
Summary
The board authorized purchase of a 2026 cargo van for animal services at $53,009.49, funded from the department's donation account (balance reported at $100,624.61); staff said the purchase is needed because the current vehicle has nearly 300,000 miles and the department frequently transports animals out-of-state.
The board approved a request from the animal-services director to purchase a 2026 cargo van for animal transportation at a quoted cost of $53,009.49, to be paid from the animal services donation account. Staff reported the donation account balance as $100,624.61 and said the department currently relies on older vehicles that are no longer dependable for frequent out-of-state transports.
An animal-services staff member described upcoming transport schedules, noting another out-of-state transport in two weeks and that approximately half of incoming animals are transported beyond state lines. Commissioners moved to approve the purchase; staff emphasized the visible stewardship benefit for donors when donation funds purchase a vehicle used for animal welfare.
