Council approves transfer of 2005 Crown Victoria to McEwen Police Department

Chief Smith told the council he had received a written request from the McEwen Police Department asking for transfer of a 2005 Ford Crown Victoria police vehicle. The letter included VIN details, the chief said, and council members agreed a formal request letter was needed earlier in the meeting before the motion was made.

A council member moved to approve sending the Crown Victoria to McEwen; another member seconded. The council approved the motion in a roll-call vote. Council members who participated in roll call responded in the affirmative; no opposition was recorded in the transcript.

Council discussion included a short procedural request that Chief Smith obtain a formal letter from McEwen for the vehicle transfer. The transfer was approved as an administrative action; the motion did not change city policy or the budget beyond disposition of the vehicle.
