Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the September 14th, 2026 study session. That's 5 30, so we'll commence. We have a total of five items, but before or seven items, but before that, Stu has uh announcement or uh Mr. Mayor and Council. Um, I'd like it's my pleasure to introduce to you uh Kaylin's replacement, Anna Lisa Johnson. Uh she came through a pretty rigid hiring uh process and uh she came out on top, and I'd just like to have her just introduce herself real quick. Uh these are the folks you have to piece for. Hi, nice to meet you, everybody. I'm very honored to be here. I have big shoes to fill. Kaylen is trying to teach me the way as long as she can for the next week. And I hope to learn a lot from you. And if you need anything, feel free to stop by. It's a pleasure. Thank you for having me. Thank you. Thank you. We're glad to have you. So you don't have to stay if you don't want to. I say that we did. Okay. So we do have a total of seven items on the agenda for tonight. So we'll just get rolling because it's seven o'clock. I think they're gonna start the uh debate down at the YO. So an item was that six. Okay, it's six. So we've had an hour. We've really got to hustle. So discussion. Our first one is bid award to Fremont Motor Count Motor for three Dodge Durango Pursuit All-Wheel Drive Vehicles in the amount of 125,544. And with us to tell us about that is our fleet and administrative coordinator, Heather Kaplinski. Welcome, Heather. Thank you, Mayor and Council. Um, like the mayor said, so this is the uh purchase for three new Dodge Durangos for um the FY27 budget. Those were approved um in the budget earlier this year. A request for bid was advertised August 15th and 24th, and the bid opening took place September 2nd. We received three bids with Fremont Motor Company out of lander coming in as the lowest qualified bid for 125,544, um, and 240 dollars sit to purchase these vehicles and their outfitting. Before issuing the request for bids, I did send the specifications to the chief of police for him to review and confirm. And the following vehicles are being replaced and will be surplused. We have a 2015 Ford Taurus over 81,000 miles. It has the front end worn out, and it is not used for patrol anymore. We have a 2018 Dodge Charger, over 98,000 miles, and it has current issues with the radar and a check engine light, and also a 2019 Dodge Charger that's almost at 100,000 miles. Without staff approves or recommends that the Marin City Council approve the purchase of the three 2027 Dodge Durangos from Freedot Motor Company out of Lander for 125,544 dollars, and authorize the fleet coordinator to act on behalf of the council and mayor on all matters related to the peer procurement process. And the vehicles will um only take uh two to three months from the manufacturer, and then they'll be delivered to Rapid City to on-seen dynamics, which is the company we're utilizing this year for the outfitting. So they'll outfit with all the accessories, camera system, radio, radar, all that um at approximately 28,000 per vehicle. And GPET funds are being used for this out of the fleet account for the PD. Okay. Any questions? Any questions for Heather on this one? So just out of curiosity, Chief.
