The committee considered ordinance 26-21, authorizing purchase of a 2027 five-ton Freightliner with equipment for the Amherst Street Department and declaring emergency. The mayor said the truck will replace an older vehicle and that the replaced vehicle may be reassigned to another department; the new truck is intended to support plowing and street maintenance.
Council members asked whether the old vehicle would be retained or auctioned; the mayor said it would likely be reassigned within city departments and would not fetch a high sale price. The committee voted unanimously (7–0) to send 26-21 to council with emergency.
