Sturgis To Get New Vehicles

The city of Sturgis will have a fleet of five new vehicles, following action taken recently by members of the city commission.

The new vehicles and departments to which they will be assigned are a Ford Focus for the electric department; two Dodge Charger vehicles for the police department; a pickup for the wastewater department and a mower to be used by the parks department.

City Manager Mike Hughes said the new vehicles will replace current, older models that will be put up for bid in an online auction. Proceeds from the auction will help offset the $81,000 cost of the new vehicles.
