Purcell OK City Council lists police vehicle and radio/upfit payments for July 6 vote
Purcell OK – Purcell City Council’s July 6 consent agenda lists police fleet, vehicle upfits, and radio programming—along with labor-contract context.
Purcell City Council’s July 6, 2026 meeting includes a consent agenda with public-safety fleet and communications items. The agenda packet—posted July 2—lists separate payments tied to getting patrol vehicles and police radios ready for day-to-day use.
Because these items are on the consent agenda, they are presented as non-controversial and routine and are slated to be approved by one motion. Council members can still request an item be removed for separate discussion.
What the July 6 consent agenda lists for police vehicles
On the fleet side, the agenda lists a payment to Bob Howard Dodge described as covering two 2027 Dodge Durangos and one 2026 Dodge Durango for the Purcell Police Department—scheduled as a consent-agenda approval item.
Vehicle upfits: Metro Emergency Upfitters listed
The same consent agenda packet also routes the vehicle outfitting work through Metro Emergency Upfitters, LLC. The agenda lists a consent-agenda payment described as covering three upfits for Dodge Durangos for the police department.
Communications: radios and programming listed for Stolz
For police communications, the consent agenda packet lists a separate payment to Stolz described as covering three radios and programming for the police department.
Related labor-contract context from a prior executive-session agenda
While an executive session is a different kind of agenda item than a purchasing/payment consent agenda, a May 4, 2026 Purcell City Council agenda shows executive-session discussion scheduled for labor-contract items involving FOP #194 (police) and IAFF Local 3596. That matters to residents because it reflects parallel “public-safety readiness” conversations: one track focused on equipment and communications, another on staffing and labor terms.
Historical context: Metro Emergency Upfitters referenced in 2019 minutes
Older city records show Metro Emergency Upfitters has been involved in Purcell police vehicle upfitting before. Sept. 3, 2019 council minutes include discussion of awarding a bid for upfitting vehicles and note that the upfit cost included vehicle cameras.
That 2019 reference is historical context only—it is not a confirmation of what will be installed on the 2026 Durangos or radios listed for the July 6 consent agenda.
What residents should watch next
- Whether any consent agenda items are removed for separate discussion at the July 6 meeting.
- After-meeting minutes or later agenda packets that confirm any changes to payment terms, delivery/installation timing, or additional related approvals.
For the most direct, item-by-item status updates, residents can track the city’s agenda and minutes records after the July 6 vote.
