Summary
The Board of Public Works approved a $139,950 purchase of a service-body crane truck from McGrath Chevieland and approved utility vouchers totaling $587,002.02; a motion to approve prior meeting minutes received no second.
The Oak Creek Board of Public Works and Capital Assets on Nov. 11 approved two routine items: the purchase of a service-body crane truck and payment of utility vouchers.
The board voted to buy a service-body crane truck from McGrath Chevieland for $139,950. Board members discussed whether existing public-works crews already have similar equipment; several members said having the additional unit would be useful. "We need one too," a board member said during discussion. A motion to approve the purchase was made and seconded and the roll-call vote recorded members voting aye.
The board also approved utility vouchers in the amount of $587,002.02. Staff noted the total was lower than typical because a large We Energies item was off its usual billing cycle.
On a procedural note, Marshall moved to approve the Oct. 14, 2025 minutes earlier in the meeting but the motion received no second and the minutes were not approved at that time.
The crane purchase is expected to be processed through the utility—s procurement procedures; staff will confirm delivery timelines and specifications. The vouchers will be processed through regular accounting workflows.
