Summary
The Town Board reviewed a resolution authorizing purchase of a 2025 Chevrolet service-body pickup to replace a 2016 Silverado totaled in 2022; insurance recoveries of $18,108.70 and town fund balances would cover part of the cost, and the purchase is planned through Maguire using Sourcewell pricing.
The Town Board of the Town of Union considered a resolution authorizing the purchase of a 2025 Chevrolet service-body pick-up truck to replace vehicle B105, a 2016 Silverado that was totaled in January 2022. Frank J. Bertoni, chair of the Capital Projects & Public Works Committee, presented the resolution detailing funding sources and procurement plans.
The resolution specifies the purchase price should not exceed $75,000. It notes insurance recoveries of $18,108.70 received in February 2022 were placed into the town’s Fund Balance and that the remainder of the purchase would be paid from Fund Balance and the Part-Town Highway account 31-5110-2300 (Motor Vehicle budget line). The town comptroller and the Part-Town Highway Fund Balance were cited as sufficient to cover the purchase.
The committee recommended procuring the truck through Maguire using Sourcewell pricing. The resolution frames the vehicle as crucial to the town’s paving operations and as a direct replacement for the vehicle lost in 2022.
The transcript records the resolution text and committee sponsorship; no roll-call vote or final approval tally for this specific resolution is recorded in the minutes provided. The board otherwise moved through the agenda and later adjourned.
