COUNCIL MEMBER <br />PEDERSON SECONDED THE MOTION. <br />Council Member Akerson had several questions relating to whether it was <br />best to purchase a 4 -wheel drive or another squad car. He also had <br />questions regarding the cost to equip the Tahoe and how much of the old <br />equipment could be used. <br />Council Member Ryan stated that due to the budget situation, purchasing <br />a new vehicle for the Chief will send out a wrong signal to the public.
