New trucks bought for McDonough police

The McDonough City Council voted unanimously at its April 27 meeting to approve the purchase of three new law enforcement vehicles which will not require any city funds.

All three are 2020 Chevrolet Tahoes in various colors to be used by the city’s police department, at a total cost of $112,165. The city has received a check for $116,280 stemming from its participation in a local drug task force, and that money will cover the cost of the vehicles.

The council also approve a $26,300 contract for an emergency stormwater drainage system repair, to excavate and remove 140 feet of existing 30-inch metal pipe and replace with HDPE pipe on King Blvd.
