Herewith enclosed please find a Resolution Request Form and Fiscal Impact Statement
for a resolution which I would like to present at the next available Meeting of the
County.
The 2026 Capital Vehicle Bond includes $1,006,000 for replacement vehicles for the
Sheriff's Office. The 2026 vehicle request is for 15 vehicles. Some of the vehicles to
be replaced have been either totaled or removed from service due to maintenance
issues and sold at auction. Many vehicles in the fleet are in excess of 150,000 miles

Please let me know if you have any questions or need any additional information.
Thank you for your consideration.
