In 2018 at our <br />annual council workshop I discussed the issues <br />we had and are having in regards to the 3 chiefs <br />using their personal vehicles as emergency <br />vehicles. This issue really came to a head in <br />January of 2018 when my vehicle was struck by <br />a semi-truck while on an emergency incident on <br />the interstate. I sustained $29,000 damage to <br />my personal vehicle and subsequently my <br />insurance carrier canceled my policy because I <br />was using it as an emergency vehicle. Don <br />5HODWLRQVKLSWR6WUDWHJLF3ODQ: <br />Currently the lead time to order a new vehicle is at least 6 <br />months. I plan on submitting a request to the council in the <br />next few weeks to place the order and payment would not be <br />due until after the first of 2021 <br />$ 63,700 <br />50
