Police Chief A.D. Carroll confirmed his department has applied for a grant to replace its three cruisers.
Several previously owned vehicles are available from a supplier of law-enforcement vehicles for a confirmed total of $59,623.89.
The price will include all the necessary equipment, and the dealer is prepared to swap equipment from the department's current vehicles into its new ones.
A lease program with payments of less than $1,200 per month for five years has been proposed, and the department can purchase the vehicles for $1 each at the end of the term.
On the state of the de-partment's current vehicles, Carroll told the council, "I've got a cushion from a kitchen chair on my seat so I don't fall through!"
On any given day, he said, at least one of the vehicles is off the road for service.
