Livingston council approves $68,000 used dump truck for street department
Summary
After vetting Kelley Blue Book and NADA values, the council authorized a $68,000 purchase of a used dump truck for the street department to replace failing equipment; a roll call of aldermen recorded unanimous approval.
The council approved purchasing a used dump truck for the street department at a price of $68,000 after staff confirmed the vehicle met procurement rules and comparable market values. The town has budgeted for a replacement vehicle and staff advised that an existing unit recently failed in service.
The presiding official said staff performed due diligence using NADA and Kelley Blue Book price guides and that the purchase met the town’s purchasing threshold. The motion to approve came from Alderman Linder and was seconded by Alderman Ruble; the mayor requested a roll call before authorizing the expenditure. The roll call recorded 'yes' votes from Alderman Elder, Alderman Langford, Alderman Lander, Alderman Procter, Alderman Reubel and Vice Mayor Dale and the motion passed. The truck has more than 200,000 miles and will be integrated into the street department fleet.
