Sheriff authorized to buy three replacement vehicles using insurance proceeds
Summary
After three departmental vehicles were totaled (hail, fender damage and a deer strike), the board authorized using insurance and self‑insured fund dollars to purchase two 2027 Dodge Durangos and one 2026 Chrysler Pacifica (totaling roughly $132,081); the sheriff described the replacements and said vehicles follow state bid specifications.
The board approved a resolution authorizing the sheriff's office to replace three vehicles that were recently totaled.
The clerk read the requested purchases: a 2027 Dodge Durango for $44,688, a 2027 Dodge Durango for $44,460 and a 2026 Chrysler Pacifica for $42,933 to be purchased using insurance proceeds and funds in the county's self‑insured property fund. Sheriff Nathan Neff explained the vehicles were not scheduled replacements but were needed after incidents including hail damage and a deer strike; he said the state bid package yields law‑enforcement‑grade specs and that two Durangos serve different needs (civil vs. patrol).
After motion and second, the board approved the purchases by roll call. Financial and fleet staff will complete ordering under the state bid process and manage assignment between civil and patrol uses.
