Highway department to lease three vehicles; equipment updates reported
Summary
Staff reported equipment issues and procurement comparisons and said the highway department will lease three Enterprise vehicles for managerial use; one delivered triaxle was returned for axle repair.
Staff reported receipt of 2024 triaxles with one returned due to axle misalignment, monitoring of a sign truck frame under warranty, and evaluation of pricing for an asphalt roller, trailer and hydraulic package. Richard Heath also outlined a plan to lease three Enterprise vehicles — one for the highway chair/commissioner role and two for patrol superintendents — with lease length to depend on yearly mileage.
Committee members noted the procurement comparisons and directed staff to continue evaluating options; no final equipment purchases were approved at the meeting apart from the vehicle-leasing plan direction.
