ordering at dealerships and the County's budget timeline. His department needs 15
replacement cars, fully outfitted for the road which takes about a week per car to
finish. Cheryl Shiffler stated that capital funds request is the appropriate avenue to
go to seek funding for the vehicles. She went on to say she would need a dollar
amount for the 15 vehicles to include in the Finance Committee agenda.
