Taos County approves leases for two Public Works trucks to support winter operations
Summary
The commission approved open-end equity leases for two Chevy Silverado trucks for Public Works to support snow operations. Staff said the lease structure spreads vehicle costs over 72 months; figures discussed included $114,376 for the 2023 vehicle and $118,563 for the 2024 unit.
County procurement and Public Works staff requested approval of open-end equity leases (via a Sourcewell contract) for two Chevy Silverado trucks outfitted with snowplows, dump beds and salt spreaders to support winter operations and access to narrower roads. Staff described the county's interest in leasing to structure fleet costs and to rotate vehicles on a four- to five-year basis rather than purchasing outright.
Jason Silva described the vehicles identified for immediate assessment and noted the financing structure. The clerk recorded the motion and roll-call approval. As the presentation read from the item, "The amount of the lease for the 2023 is 114,376 for 72 months with monthly payments of $1,764.53," a figure staff used to illustrate payment terms and budget implications for the Public Works fleet.
