Board approves order for three 2026 Chevy trucks for street department
Summary
After weighing model-year timing and local sourcing, the board voted to move forward with a quote to buy three 2026 Chevrolet trucks from Kelly for the street department.
The Decatur City Board of Works approved moving forward with a quote for three Chevrolet trucks to serve the street department.
Members discussed whether to wait until September to order and potentially receive 2027 models, the cost difference for ordering versus buying from lot, and the benefits of purchasing from a local dealer.
