PREVIOUS BOARD/BOARD COMMITTEE ACTIONS:
On July 23, 2024, the Board approved the purchase of twelve (12) upfitted 2025 Ford Police Interceptor Utility AWDs for the Sheriff's Office utilizing ARPA funding to cover the expense.

SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The Sheriff's Office is requesting approval of FY25-26 appropriations for new vehicle upfittings in the total amount of $292,348.43. The majority of this funding is coming from ARPA in the amount of $277,916.35. The ARPA funds were designated for vehicle upfitting during FY24-25 and encumbered for this purpose with the Treasury. This request is to ensure the upfittings are appropriated in FY25-26, since the builds did not happen by the end of last fiscal year due to the vendor's inability to fit them into their schedule prior to fiscal year end. The remainder of the unfunded upfitting expense will be covered by State Asset Seizure reserve funds in the amount of $14,432.08. The vehicles will be used for patrol purposes.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION/MOTION:
Return to staff for alternate handling.
