Council approves replacement administrative vehicle; packet shows budgeted $45,000 and piggyback contract figures
Summary
The council approved buying a 2025 Ford Explorer to replace the town manager's administrative vehicle. Staff said the FY24‑25 budget included $45,000; the packet cites a piggyback contract amount but the transcript records slightly inconsistent figures, which are noted below.
Director Crockett told the council the FY24‑25 budget included $45,000 for a replacement administrative vehicle and that the town intends to use an Allen J. piggyback contract to acquire a 2025 Ford Explorer. The director said this will replace a 2022 vehicle assigned to administrative staff and asked for council support to proceed with the purchase.
Council approved the purchase by voice vote, 5‑0. The transcript records staff saying the budgeted amount was $45,000 and that the piggyback contract was cited "in the amount of $42,191," while the motion recorded a purchase amount of $42,291. The article notes this discrepancy exactly as it appears in the meeting record; the packet or purchase order should be checked for the definitive contract price.
