Council approves used truck purchase for wastewater department
Summary
Council approved the purchase of a used 2023 Chevrolet Silverado for the wastewater department for up to $37,710, using funds budgeted in the department; staff explained mileage and market comparisons for the choice.
The Norway City Council approved the purchase of a used 2023 Chevrolet Silverado for the wastewater department at a price not to exceed $37,710.
Staff said the vehicle was budgeted in the FY 2026 budget and provided comparisons to other used options, noting the Silverado had about 25,000 miles and that a cheaper F‑150 carried substantially higher mileage. Council members asked questions about insurance and replacement cycles; staff replied the wastewater fleet will not be replaced as frequently as police vehicles because the duty cycle differs.
A council member made a motion to approve the purchase from Arrow Chevrolet as presented; the motion was seconded and approved by the members who voted on the motion.
The purchase is to be completed within the approved budget authorization; staff reported the dealership included a complimentary spray‑in bed liner.
