Duluth has amended the city’s Fiscal Year 2022 budget by adding $44,431 to the Police Vehicle - Consolidated Vehicle Maintenance section. The additional funding comes from the police department’s recent sale of two vehicles and equipment at auction. After commission and fees, the department received $8,500 from the auction.

In addition, the police department received an insurance settlement of $35,931 for a police vehicle that was involved in an accident resulting in the total loss of the vehicle.

The department will use the funds to continue maintaining a vehicle fleet that is low maintenance and dependable.
