Later in the meeting, sheriff W. A. Buntin asked the supervisors to consider restoring funds for one additional police cruiser to the budget. The vehicle will pay for itself within two years through elimination of mileage reimbursements, he said. With his private car now used for police business ready to wear out, Buntin noted that he was requesting the additional vehicle for himself.
Accountant Cox reported that the state compensation board will fund purchase price, operating expenses and insurance. To run the three deputies’ county-owned cars this year, it cost $10,000 for repairs, gas and liability while the state reimbursement totalled $16,832, leaving the county with $7,000 profit, according to Cox. The $2,400 price for the sheriffs cruiser can be recovered next year, he added.
“It gets down to whether Rappahannock County needs four cars or not,” said Wood. "You say we’re going to make a profit on it but the money comes from somewhere! It comes from the state but state taxes are paid by Rappahannock County residents.”
Buntin noted that he puts between 10,000 and 11,000 miles per year on his vehicle which would have to be reimbursed at the state approved rate of 20 cents peF mile.
