The recently appointed chief suggested that a grant for a new squad car might be available from the state, but it will depend on funding from the federal government in the funding budget.
The estimated cost for a new car, fully equipped, is $39,000, and bids are being considered. The board then discussed the need for body cameras and spotlights, but no action was taken.
Board president Bill Ashley gaveled the meeting to order at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 8.
