INTRODUCED BY James D. Tindall, County Legislator
Body
WHEREAS, the Sheriff's Office and the Park Ranger Division of the Parks and Recreation Department desire to take advantage of a trade-in program offered by GT Distributors, the authorized distributor in this region for the County's existing Glock service pistols; and,
WHEREAS, the County's existing Glock service pistols are thirteen years old and the night sights on the weapons are past the established service life; and,
WHEREAS, the trade-in program offered by the distributor will allow pistols that normally sell for $409.00 to be purchased by the County for $50.00 each; and,
WHEREAS, section 1030.1, Jackson County Code, 1984, eliminates the requirement for competitive bidding when items to be purchased can be obtained from only one source; and,

WHEREAS, the Director further recommends that the existing firearms used by the Sheriff's Office and the Park Rangers be declared unusable and be used as a trade-in on this purchase; and,
WHEREAS, the Sheriff has proposed to use federal forfeiture funds to partially accomplish this purchase for his department; and,
