Manager given used police SUV to take home — Catching up to his peers, new Gulf Stream Town Manager Trey Nazzaro will have a take-home police vehicle instead of a monthly fuel allowance.
The vehicle already has 100,000 miles on the odometer but “is currently in good operational condition and does not have a cage, light bar or other police-specific equipment installed,” Nazzaro wrote in a memo to the Town Commission.
“It would not take a lot to decommission it,” Police Chief Richard Jones said. “It was previously my take-home car.”
The vehicle would have fetched only about $3,500 if traded in, Nazzaro said. “Given the relatively low trade-in value and the vehicle’s remaining useful life, retaining the vehicle for administrative use is considered a more cost-effective option.”
Many managers in the area already have take-home vehicles, Nazzaro said. Commissioners unanimously signed off on the deal March 13.
