Commissioners approve $110,000 supplemental for two sheriff patrol vehicles

The board approved a budget supplemental, Resolution 91-2025, authorizing $110,000 from the Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency fund to purchase two patrol vehicles for the sheriff's office.
Under-sheriff Yarnell told the board the amount covers purchase and the vehicle equipment build process; commissioners opened a 10:30 public hearing on the appropriation and then closed it with no public comments. The motion to approve the resolution passed on a voice vote.
Why it matters: the appropriation provides funding to acquire two patrol vehicles and their equipment; commissioners asked staff to confirm whether any radio or frequency costs would be owed separately and to verify existing fund allocations for radio equipment.
Follow-up: commissioners asked staff to confirm radio-cost responsibilities with the project lead and requested a check on whether rifle or radio frequencies required additional appropriation. The sheriff's office will proceed to order the vehicles after confirming those funding details.
