Cherokee Village approves purchase of used 2014 F‑250 for street department
Summary
The City Council approved the street department's request to buy a used 2014 F‑250 4x4 for $10,500 to replace multiple end‑of‑life vehicles and surplus aging equipment; the purchase will come from the street department budget and the VIN will be provided by staff.
The Cherokee Village City Council on July 17 approved the street superintendent’s recommendation to buy a used 2014 F‑250 four‑wheel‑drive pickup for $10,500 to replace several vehicles that staff described as beyond serviceable repair.
Street Superintendent Joey told the council that several trucks and a 1980s tractor in the fleet are at or beyond useful service life and that the proposed 2014 F‑250 would replace older vehicles currently used for plowing and towing equipment. Joey said the vehicle inspected was in good condition, has a minor bed dent and that staff can mount an existing plow setup.
Funding and details: The council voted to pay from the street department’s budget; Joey said he would provide the VIN for the motion paperwork. During discussion council members mentioned the truck’s mileage (one speaker suggested about 15,000 miles) but that figure was not confirmed in the meeting record.
Council action: The purchase motion passed unanimously by roll call.
Why it matters: The purchase addresses immediate operational needs for winter plowing and equipment transport and will allow the city to surplus older, hard‑to‑maintain vehicles.
