body
Financial Impact:
There will be no financial impact on the General Fund as AB443 funds will be utilized for this purchase. The Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) 1222-23 Grant will reimburse the Sheriff’s Office (AB443 fund) for a portion of these funds, once the vehicle is acquired and purchased.
Background Information:
This vehicle identified at Downtown Ford is currently available and on the lot. This would allow the Sheriff’s Office to obtain the vehicle now instead of waiting to go through the ordering process, thus acquiring and purchasing the vehicle before the end of the BSCC Grant cycle at the end of June 2026.
