Town board adds Metropolitan Commercial Bank, approves emergency truck purchase and engineering contract
Summary
The Town of Union board added Metropolitan Commercial Bank to the town's official depository list, authorized the emergency purchase of a replacement box van truck (not to exceed $30,000), and approved a $9,000 contract with Delta Engineering for secure entrance conceptual design; all actions passed unanimously.
On March 19, 2025 the Town of Union board adopted several finance and capital measures intended to support operations and short-term needs.
A resolution sponsored by Councilman Thomas R. Augostini added Metropolitan Commercial Bank to the town’s official depository list for 2025; the resolution passed unanimously. The board also approved an emergency purchase to replace the B90 box van truck that caught fire on Feb. 20, 2025, authorizing purchase of a used replacement not to exceed $30,000 because the vehicle is described as a frontline asset for drainage repairs.
The board awarded a professional-services proposal to Delta Engineering to provide secure-entrance conceptual design for $9,000; the motion was presented as part of Capital Projects & Public Works committee items and adopted with an "All yes" vote.
Additional capital items approved in the same committee block include authorization for six highway employees to attend the Annual Hard Hat Expo (use of a town vehicle and reimbursement for lunch) and the procurement awards listed elsewhere in the minutes. The meeting record does not provide vendor contract start dates or specific funding line items.
What happens next: Department managers and the Commissioner of Public Works will manage purchases and contract administration; the minutes do not list specific timelines or funding sources for the individual approvals.
