County Commission approves Vehicle Lease Program for Sheriff’s Department

Sheriff Ross Mellinger presented the Jackson County Commission with a proposed change in the method of replacing police cruisers.
The Fleet Management Program would allow the sheriff’s department to enter a lease agreement with Enterprise Fleet Management rather than purchasing one cruiser per year which is the current procedure.
Funds for purchasing cruisers come from the capital project line item of $76,000 from the county budget. The remainder of the funds needed are taken from the concealed weapons permit fees.
Mellinger explained that since the West Virginia State Legislature reduced the fee for a permit from $100 to $50, the portion received by the sheriff’s department was lowered from $65 to $25. In addition, any veteran can obtain a permit at no cost.
