The Finance Committee reported discussion of purchasing a new self-contained leaf-collection vehicle; Trustee Tom Carpenter said the cheapest quote was $261,000, and staff will draft financing language for the board. Options including grants and financing were discussed.
Trustee Tom Carpenter told trustees the Finance Committee discussed replacing the village's leaf-collection equipment and that “the cheapest was $261,000.” He said the committee considered financing options and possible grant funds, and Village Administrator Matt Trout will prepare ordinance language to capture any financing terms for a future board vote.
