Board reviews truck failures, replacement bids and staffing status
Summary
Board members reported a failed dump-truck engine and body damage with $30,000 in repair estimates, reviewed bid preparations for replacements and said staffing is nearly full with one open attendant position.
The board heard an equipment-and-staffing update that highlighted a failed field crew dump truck and ongoing procurement planning.
Unidentified Speaker 2 said one field crew dump truck suffered a failed engine and body damage; the engine rebuild was estimated at $15,000 and body repairs another $15,000. Staff said it may not be cost-effective to repair and that replacement bids have been sent to purchasing staff for inclusion in the year's budget.
On staffing, members said the department is largely fully staffed; Dan was described as "very happy," and only one attendant position remained open but was not actively being filled. Members noted short-term operational adjustments while the fleet is being addressed.
No final purchase authorization was made at this meeting; staff will report back with bid outcomes and budget confirmations.
