Board approves new dump truck purchase, bid reductions for highway barn
Summary
Board approved trading a 2021 truck toward a 2026 dump truck (estimated cost $67,000) and authorized withdrawing equipment-reserve funds. The board also approved bid reductions for the new highway barn (combined reductions reported).
The board approved the Highway Superintendent's plan to trade the 2021 truck toward purchase of a 2026 single-axle dump truck, with the superintendent estimating a trade-in value of $35,000–$38,000 and a new truck cost of about $67,000. Glenn Vogel moved to purchase the new truck and to use equipment-reserve funds to cover the balance; the motions passed by roll call (5 Aye, 0 Nay).
Separately, the board agreed to modifications in the Elmira Structures bid to change walls and doors (a $12,800 reduction) and to have Frye & Campbell make plumbing changes reducing the bid by $7,735. The motion to accept those adjustments was made by Les Smith and seconded by Michael Austin and carried by vote (Ayes 5).
