Weber said the city is looking into law enforce- ment grants. He then presented options and estimates for potential new law enforcement vehicles. He said that an estimated $4,000 to $5,000 on top of the initial vehicle cost would be needed for necessary items such as cages and light bars. Weber told the commissioners that two vehi- cles are needed, but there isn’t a big rush to purchase them. Iwan asked what is next con- cerning the purchase of new law enforcement vehicles. Anker said they could vote on the issue at the next meeting; however, he is against buying two vehicles right away.
