INFORMATIONAL  
8.A.  
24-0840  
Informational - Pursuant to FI-O-0056-22 and DT-R-0306C-22, one (1) vehicle  
replacement purchase order for FY2024 for the State's Attorney's Office has been issued  
through Napleton Ford of Oak Lawn in the amount of $39,098.26. (State's Attorney  
Office)  
Member Krajewski questioned why this replacement vehicle could not have been  
purchased from a Ford dealer in DuPage County. Robert Lyons, Chief of Administration  
for the State's Attorney's Office, responded that his office requested a vehicle with certain  
requirements so that it would blend in and not stand out as an official vehicle. Nick  
Kottmeyer, Chief Administrative Officer, further commented that when the County  
searches for vehicles, it cannot be limited to DuPage County only. The bottom line is to  
find a vehicle that meets the requirements at the lowest cost even if it is in another  
county.  
The motion was approved on a voice vote, all "ayes".
