Board approves replacement vehicles for maintenance and transportation
Summary
Trustees approved purchases for two 4x4 cab/chassis one-ton diesel service trucks and four seven-passenger minivans to support maintenance and the Pahrump motor pool, with trustees emphasizing future purchases should include four-wheel drive for reliability in remote areas.
The board approved a procurement to purchase two 4x4 cab/chassis one-ton diesel service trucks and four seven-passenger minivans to continue the Transportation Department's vehicle replacement plan. Transportation staff sought board approval to ensure timely replacement and higher resale/trade-in value; trustees approved the motion 7–0.
The transportation representative said future truck purchases should include four-wheel drive to ensure reliability on remote roads in areas such as Gabbs and Yomba. Trustee Bryan Wulfenstein moved for approval and Trustee Robert White seconded; the motion passed unanimously. The purchasing plan also discussed a program to sell vehicles while they still have resale value, similar to a rental rotation approach.
