Superior Dodge of Siloam Springs has called and offered to sell us two 2023 V8 Dodge Durango’s for $58,000 each. They are fully loaded with needed equipment except for the radios which can be transferred from the vehicles that we are replacing. These vehicles were originally ordered by another city, but not delivered. We will be replacing two 2017 Ford Explorer’s and can pick these up as early as next week.
A motion was made by Argest Hyler to reappropriate funds from the 2023 budget to cover the purchase for the Ozark Police Department. This was seconded by Randy Melton. Upon a roll call vote, all members present voted aye and the motion was approved.
Discussion followed about what to do with the excess vehicles. We have two 2017 Explorer’s and one 2013 Explorer. A motion was made by Randy Melton to sell one of the 2017 Explorer’s and the 2013 Explorer. We would be keeping one of the 2017 Explorer’s as an emergency back- up. This was seconded by Argest Hyler. Upon a roll call vote, all members
present voted aye and the motion was approved.
