SPECIAL MEETING VEHICLE REPLACEMENT COMMISSIONERS
At 10:00 a.m. Chairman Jewell opened a Special Meeting to discuss
plans for vehicle replacement in the County Motor Pool.
Nick Henderson, Coroner explained that his vehicle was totaled in
December and he was in need of a replacement. He stated that he
would like to replace his vehicle with a Ford Expedition as it would
provide enough space for when he has to take bodies over the pass to
the State Forensic Anthropologist. He stated that he is planning to
apply for a grant for a vehicle but he still needs something in the
interim.
The Board discussed possible vehicle’s to remove from the motor pool
that could be used in trade-ins and other options. There was
discussion on whether or not the Sheriff’s Office would have any
vehicles for the Coroner. Commissioner Jewell stated that his only
requirements were that the vehicle had more passenger room, 4-wheel
drive, and that it be white.
Judy Pless, Budget & Finance Director stated that in order for the
County to not have to go out for bid they would need to remain under
$25,000.00.
The Board agreed to declare the Chevy Malibu and two Crown
Victoria’s surplus and that would allow them to be used for trade
in. They directed Staff to transfer the BoCC Escape to the County
Coroner. Commissioner Osiadacz and Jerry Pettit, Auditor were
tasked with test driving a Ford Explorer at Kelleher Motor Company.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:25 a.m.
