From the meeting
At its November 4, 2026 special meeting, the City Council approved ordering two 2027 police squad vehicles and purchasing two Kia Seltos for investigators. The staff report said the current capital improvement plan (CIP) included replacing the two squad vehicles in 2027, but the department sought to order them early because of lead time. The two Kia Seltos were priced at about $84,000 total, funded by $35,000 of totaled police squad insurance recovery and a $49,000 transfer from the 2008A/2016A bond fund.
Decision approved.

What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
