The Culbertson Town Council approved purchasing a 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe for $40,000 from High Plains Motors to supply the Roosevelt County Sheriff's Department with a replacement patrol vehicle under the town’s contract arrangement.
Councilors discussed timing and whether neighboring jurisdictions (Froid and Bainville) would share future costs; the council asked the sheriff’s department to select a vehicle to ensure it met department specifications and then present it to council for final approval. Minutes record Mark Nelson moving the motion and Nick Oelkers seconding; no objections were recorded.
Next steps: the council will receive a recommended vehicle and finalize the purchase and any cost-sharing arrangements.
