Selectboard clears purchase of pickup and loader from equipment reserve
Summary
The Selectboard reviewed the Equipment Reserve Account #8002 and authorized Road Foreman Joshua Livingston to proceed with buying a pickup and a loader in 2026, noting a dump truck remains planned for 2027.
The board discussed anticipated draws on Equipment Reserve Account #8002 for vehicle and equipment purchases and gave Road Foreman Joshua Livingston authority to proceed with purchasing a pickup truck and a loader in 2026. The discussion noted an additional new dump truck is planned for 2027 and emphasized managing the reserve to accommodate both years’ purchases.
Board members framed the decision as part of routine capital planning rather than an unbudgeted expense. No dollar amounts were recorded in the minutes; the board’s permission allows the road crew to move forward with procurement steps under the terms of the reserve account.
