• Consider the purchase of two police pursuit vehicles for the Murfreesboro Police Department.
At a cost of more than $44,000, the cars will replace two older pursuit vehicles that were totaled in a crash in November 2009.
Have you ever heard of insurance? Why spend money we don't have, wheres the insurance money?

Apparently, we are required to carry insurance but our City is not. Another double standard of our Taxes at work. Can't wait until election time!

We are not required to carry insurance, if you do wish to carry it you can self insure, to do this you do have to post a bond with the state to prove your financially responsible. I just assume the city has self insured. Many public entities do that. Just think how much the premiums would be from an insurance company to insure all those police cars.

The city is self insured and funding for replacement of the 2 new cars will be paid from funds in Risk Management Fund. Murfreesboro has saved $millions through the Risk Management Program since its establishment some 15 years ago.

Will these vehicles be purchased with funds from the Risk Management Fund. It didn't seem like that was what they were asking for.
