The details

City Manager Jason Stuebe said the lease agreement needed to be ratified by City Council following a review of the agreement with D&M Commercial Leasing for 14 Chevrolet Tahoes.

"Given the auto market every year and the allocation of Tahoes and the timing, I had to go ahead and sign the lease agreement that was in excess of $50,000 last week so that we could secure our place in line," Stuebe said.
  • Patrol vehicles: $1.29 million
  • Traffic radar units: $149,711
The second lease agreement with Stalker Radar is for a 36-month contract to provide radar equipment for the Humble Police Department to assist with traffic enforcement efforts in the city.
