Council approves purchase of 2024 F-350 for Public Works and pays off 2015 EMS ambulance
Summary
Council approved buying a 2024 Ford F-350 for Public Works using Sales & Use tax revenue and authorized paying off the remaining balance on the 2015 EMS ambulance, both motions passing unanimously.
The council approved two related fleet actions at the Aug. 13 meeting. Councilor Charlene Louk moved and Councilor Karen Phillips seconded a motion to purchase a 2024 Ford Super Duty F-350 for the Public Works department using Sales & Use tax funding; the motion carried unanimously. Council also approved paying off the remaining balance on the 2015 Nutter Fort EMS ambulance with Sales & Use tax funds; that motion also passed unanimously.
Public Works staff said the truck transferred to EMS created a need to replace the PW vehicle. The town’s current fleet inventory includes multiple tool trucks, dump trucks with plow capability, a summer truck and plow trucks; two vehicles are approaching 10–12 years of service. Council noted two vehicles will be replaced with grant funding within the next year and other replacements are not expected until 2029.
