Rogers Allocates $80,000 for Street Department Vehicles After Break-In

The Rogers City Council is set to amend the 2024 budget to appropriate $80,000 from Street Fund Reserves for the purchase of two used vehicles for the Street Department. The need for this budget adjustment arose from a break-in that rendered four vehicles unusable, leaving the department with a significant gap in its fleet.

This allocation ensures that the Street Department can continue to maintain and repair city infrastructure without disruption. From road maintenance to snow clearing, the department's work is vital to keeping the city functioning smoothly, and this action highlights the city’s commitment to addressing operational challenges promptly.

By investing in replacement vehicles, the city is prioritizing the continuity of essential services for Rogers residents. The funds will be used to purchase used vehicles, balancing cost efficiency with the need to restore the department's capabilities.
