The Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors voted to buy a Cat compact track loader for up to $59,614.31 and approved an 84-month warranty for $1,990, with the motion carried 3-1.

The Cat purchase motion was moved by Chairman Mike Helman and seconded by Supervisor Andy Christensen; the minutes record the outcome as "Carried 3-1" but do not provide individual roll-call votes or identify which supervisor voted no. The F-550 purchase motion was moved by Helman and seconded by Vice Chairman Brandon Geyen and is recorded as carried 4-0.
The minutes show Supervisors Ryan Nelson and Helman met with property owners and an engineer to review possible locations for related roadwork. The equipment purchases were presented as part of new business; the minutes do not state the funding source or whether the purchases are part of an approved capital plan.
Board members did not record further debate in the minutes. No exact timeline for delivery or installation of the loader or the F-550 was included; the minutes list only the authorization amounts and the vendors (Lundeen Ford for the truck). The meeting adjourned after the new-business motions were completed.
