Committee reorders five-year plan to buy truck ahead of excavator because of new emissions rules
Summary
The committee approved the Commissioner’s recommendation to revise the five-year equipment plan so a truck is purchased before an excavator, delaying the excavator purchase by one year due to new emission requirements.
The Iron County Highway Committee voted Feb. 17 to revise its five-year equipment plan and purchase a truck before an excavator, following a recommendation from the Commissioner that cited new emission requirements as the reason for reordering purchases.
Pat Hanson moved to approve buying the truck and postpone the excavator; Tanner Hiller seconded the motion and the committee carried it. Committee members did not provide an exact purchase date during the meeting but approved the plan revision that delays the excavator acquisition by one year.
The change was presented as an operational response to regulatory constraints rather than a change in overall capital spending; staff will update the five-year plan documents and the procurement timeline.
