Police chief seeks $25,064 for 13 patrol rifle packages; council hears request
Summary
Chief Hesselton asked council to approve purchase of 13 patrol rifle packages at $1,928 each (total $25,064), noting the expense was included in the adopted budget and will replace aging equipment.
Chief Hesselton told the council the East Ridge Police Department requests purchase of 13 patrol rifle packages to replace aging equipment. He said the total package cost is $25,064, which breaks down to about $1,928 per rifle and that the purchase was included in the city's budget.
"Total price on this is going to be $25,064," Chief Hesselton said, adding he did not foresee budgetary problems because the purchase had been previously appropriated. Council members did not raise objections during the presentation. Staff indicated the procurement would proceed through the usual purchasing process.
The item as presented was informational; no formal roll call vote on the purchase was recorded in the meeting transcript. The police department will finalize procurement steps consistent with budgeting rules and report back if additional council action is required.
