Select board accepts $6,000 offer from Kayla Temple for town truck, with conditions
Summary
After debating repair vs. sale for a truck with a separated piston, the board voted to accept Kayla Temple's $6,000 offer contingent on removal of town lettering and removal from town yard within seven days.
Board members debated whether to repair a town International truck or accept a cash offer after damage was discovered: mechanics found a separated piston in cylinder number 5. Salespeople and mechanics advised that targeted repairs (head work, injector replacement, gaskets) could likely be completed for well under $10,000, but members weighed that expense against guaranteed cash offers of $5,000 and $6,000.
Several members emphasized the certainty of a cash sale over months of repair work. The chair moved to accept Kayla Temple's $6,000 offer with conditions that the town lettering be removed before the truck left town property and that the vehicle be taken away within seven days; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The transcript records discussion of repair cost estimates and prior bids; the board added a contract condition requiring removal of town insignia before release.
