Mr. Wall: In the past the County was contacted on numerous
occasions when we would have Police vehicles and thru the rotation
process they were expended, and a lot of the small towns around
could utilize those and as a service to them and as a method of
disposing of them we would have them appraised and have them
exposed of without going thru a public bid process and selling them
to the general public, it's an intergovernmental type agreement and
you have the authority to do that, we've done it in the past.
This is a 1989 Chevrolet, with 105,000 miles on it. If we sold it
the estimated value is about $12,000.
Mr. Kuhlke: So move.
Mr. Mays: I'll second it to get it on the floor. I don't
have a problem with the intergovermental agreement. But we have had
request over several periods of time from Paine College, I know
it's not a governmental entity, in reference to helping their
Police force.
Mr. Zetterberg: What about the Marshall's Deputies that were
hired to do liter patrol, we'll end up buying new vehicles for
them. It seems to me that we should look inside our own
organization and consider using these vehicles'.
Mr. Kuhlke:
I would like to make a substitute motion and

A motion to approve Resolution supporting passage of House
Bill 531, thereby allowing special purpose local option sales tax
monies to purchase fire equipment.
Mr. Wall: Commissioner J. Brigham contacted me and indicated
that there is presently in the House Ways and Means Committee of
the General Assembly a bill which would extend the authority of
local governments to expend special purpose local option sales tax
monies for the purchase of fire equipment even though we are locked
in with our current resolution in so far as the use of these
monies, any renewal of the SPLOSH tax, this would allow a funding
mechanism to purchase and upgrade new equipment. He asked that I
prepare a resolution that we go on record as supporting that and
contacting our representatives and ask for their support of this
bill.
Mr. Kuhlke: I motion that we approve the Resolution subject
to review of the final bill.
