Winhall approves purchase of new plow truck with $80,000 trade‑in
Summary
The Selectboard voted unanimously to buy a new plow truck using an $80,000 trade‑in allowance for the used vehicle; the motion was made by Bill Schwartz and seconded by Julie Isaacs after a resident complaint about plowed snow blocking a driveway.
Roads foreman Trevor Dryden reported a resident on the cul‑de‑sac at the top of Highwood Road had emailed the Town complaining that snow plowed by the Highway crew was blocking his driveway; the Town Administrator will respond to explain snow‑removal protocol. After discussion of that complaint and equipment needs, the board approved proceeding with the purchase of a new plow truck "with an $80,000 trade‑in value for the used truck" (motion by Bill Schwartz; seconded by Julie Isaacs). The motion passed unanimously.
The decision included the $80,000 trade‑in figure as part of the procurement discussion; no additional procurement details or vendor names were provided in the transcript. Staff and board members agreed the purchase was necessary to maintain winter operations.
