The Village of East Troy authorized purchase of a replacement Department of Public Works small dump truck on Dec. 1.

Jason told trustees this is a scheduled replacement for a 2011 dump truck used for plowing, trash, parks and general DPW tasks. He said the village had budgeted $100,000 for the purchase but received pricing "just over 115," creating an approximate shortfall of $15,000. Jason recommended buying the chassis through state municipal pricing and contracting Monroe Truck Equipment for upfit; he said the chassis has a roughly six‑month build time with an expected in‑service date of Nov. 1, 2026.

Trustees moved and approved authorization to proceed, with staff planning to use DPW equipment fund balance to cover the difference and to sell the old truck at auction to recoup funds. No individual vote tallies were read into the record; the motion carried by voice vote.
