The Roberts Village Board approved a $281,543.50 payment to Rosenbauer for a fire truck chassis during its Special Village Board meeting. Jeff Vogt moved to authorize the payment; Mary Shemon seconded, and the motion carried.
Why it matters: The payment funds a major apparatus purchase for the Roberts fire department and represents a significant capital outlay for the village. The meeting record lists the dollar amount but does not specify how the payment will be financed (bonding, reserve, or other fund).
Board members who participated in the motion included Vogt and Shemon; the vote was recorded as carried in the meeting minutes. The item was taken near the end of the agenda after several licensing and land‑use matters.
The Board did not provide additional detail in the minutes about expected delivery dates, warranties, or whether final acceptance of the chassis will require a future disbursement. The minutes show next steps were limited to recording the payment authorization.
