SUMMARY:

Staff presented this item at the Regular Council meeting held March 24 for a 2021 Suburban. However, the directive of the Mayor and City Council was for staff to obtain quotes for two (2) smaller vehicles.  Staff is seeking approval to purchase two (2) new 2021 vehicles - Toyotas or Fords.
