Road manager reports spray‑truck damage; board authorizes attorney to pursue restitution
Summary
Road Manager Robert Jarman told supervisors a spray truck left with a vendor for warranty work was not winterized and suffered about $800 in damage; the vendor declined to honor the warranty and the board authorized the Board Attorney to work on restitution.
Road Manager Robert Jarman informed the board that a recently purchased spray truck left in Burleson's care for repairs was not winterized and sustained approximately $800 in damage while at the vendor. Jarman said the truck had been in the vendor’s possession for roughly six months and that the vendor would not honor the warranty because they claim they were not responsible for the damage.
Jarman reported the truck had been run a total of 28 days over seven weeks and that the selling company offered to sell parts at cost but would not provide warranty coverage for the damage they identified. After discussion, the board authorized the Board Attorney to review the matter and begin work on a solution to seek restitution from Chemical Solutions (the selling company/agent). Supervisor Jessie Medlin moved and Supervisor Ray Denison seconded the motion; it passed 3–0 with two supervisors absent.
The board’s action authorizes legal review and potential recovery efforts; the transcript does not record further detail about expected remedies or timelines. Road staff will coordinate with the Board Attorney on next steps.
