North Webster Town board in search for new vehicle
By DEB PATTERSON Staff Writer The Town of North Webster will be receiving a new police car as a result of a special meeting of the town board Monday, April 14. A 1986 Dodge Diplomat Pursuit will be picked up from Thomas Dodge, Orland Park, 111., on Friday. A special meeting was called by the North Webster Town Board on Monday to discuss a replacement for the 1984 Dodge Diplomat which was totaled, according to two estimates received, in a one-vehicle accident Tuesday, April 8. Following a 40-45 minute discussion the board voted to purchase the 1986 vehicle at the cost of $11,773 including grill and deck lights, a light bar and installation of radios. , At the time of the special meeting, the town had not received word from the insurance company as to the amount which would be allowed for the damaged vehicle. Estimates from two area body shops were sent to the company stating the car was a total loss. During the discussion. Matt Wagoner, acting town marshal, was credited for doing a lot of research and work on finding the appropriate vehicle. Wagoner reported a vehicle could be obtained at the cost of $10,300 through state contracts, however there would be a six to 12 week waiting period before a vehicle could be obtained. "We could not wait six to 12 weeks,” remarked Wagoner. The board agreed. A quote from a Goshen car dealer was given at the cost of $13,380 and was''identical to that which could be obtained from the state. Concern by the board members of the town’s insurance company adjuster totalling the vehicle was expressed and what would happen if the adjuster decided not to total the vehicle, despite the two estimates. It was noted at the meeting the insurance adjuster was to look at the damage squad car this morning (Wednesday) between 10:30and 11 a.m. Bob James stated the book price of the damaged vehicle should be checked and that it should be pointed out to the adjuster the vehicle’s engine was running upside down for some time, without oil. Sid Markley stated he didn't think the town had much choice on whether or not to get a new car as repairing the damaged vehicle would cost more than the car is worth. It was noted in addition to the engine running without oil for a time, the frame was also twisted. It was roughly figured the town may receive as much as

$6,000-$7,000 for the vehicle if it was totaled by the insurance company. Myron Clark, board president, stated he did not believe the town would receive more than $6,000 if the vehicle was totaled. Mrs. Payne stated a settlement check could be received that day from the adjuster. Board members discussed the option of keeping the damaged vehicle and selling it for scrap if the adjuster did not agree with the estimates received. They could use the insurance money for repairs or a new vehicle. All three board members voted to take a chance that the insurance company would total the vehicle and moved to have Wagoner pick up the new car on Friday. Wagoner was also asked when contacting the company on Tuesday to see about transferring the balance of the extended three year/30,000 mile service warranty to the new vehicle, or refunded to the town. It was noted when the town purchased the 1984 Diplomat the extended warranty was purchased at an additional cost of S4BO. The 1986 Diplomat will come with a 36 month/25,000 mile warranty with the warranty work

Other Business In other business, Wagoner was given the approval to order new decals for the police car as well as having the 1980 Oldsmobile squad car repaired before taking it to Illinois on Friday. Wagoner stated there was still a problem with the carburetor and starter. Mrs. Payne was given the authorization to write a check for a sufficient amount to pay for the new police car at the time it is picked up. The board approved the payment of $194.30 to Kosciusko County Police Reserves who filled in patrolling the town during April.
