Village approves $30,000 Morton Salt purchase, staff to manage storage timing
Summary
Trustees approved a $30,000 purchase of rock salt from Morton Salt Inc. under the state's joint-purchasing program; staff clarified they would not take delivery until existing salt stocks were used and noted the bulk price had fallen since last year.
The board approved a resolution to purchase rock salt from Morton Salt Inc. for $30,000 to ensure supply for snow and ice control during the coming winter.
Staff told trustees the village participates in the state’s joint purchasing program and that unit prices have fallen since last year, making it an opportune time to secure supply. Trustees asked about storage, noting the village’s salt barn is currently full; staff said they would not take additional deliveries until existing inventory is used but recommended approving the purchase to lock in the favorable price.
The resolution passed by voice vote. Staff will coordinate inventory management and report back if changes to delivery timing or storage arrangements are required.
