Starke County Sheriff Bill Dulin asked the commissioners for permission Monday morning to purchase two new vehicles for the Sheriff’s Department.
In a previous meeting, Dulin presented a quote from Bozak for 2022 Ford Explorers that were pursuit rated. The commissioners approved that request although an update from Sheriff Dulin Monday morning changed the previously approved motion.
“There’s a hang up on the Fords not being produced. We don’t even have a date of when they would be produced. So this calendar year is shot for the Fords. What we are asking is permission to purchase Dodges that are already on the lot. They are $403 more per vehicle which will cover the cost if you guys approve that,” said Dulin.
A motion was passed to purchase the two Dodge Durangos in lieu of the previously approved Ford Explorers.
