Chemung highway commissioner reports truck purchase; board approves auction of 1998 Ford
Summary
Highway Commissioner Kyle Walter reported the department bought a 2015 International truck for $28,283, prepared plows for winter, and the board approved a motion to dispose of Truck #1 (1998 Ford 7501) at auction.
Highway Commissioner Kyle Walter, speaking to the board via Deputy Clerk Margie Schuld, said the township bought a 2015 International truck with about 61,000 miles for $28,283 to upgrade the fleet and improve winter readiness.
“We spent $28,283 on it which I think was very cheap upgrade,” Walter said. He also reported two large trucks were inspected and plows were mounted and ready, the department completed flagger and harassment training, and the ditch mowers were prepared for winter storage.
Walter reported $640 in overweight-permit fees taken in for September and described recent shop work including a water-easement and landscaping job at Cals Ct. The report also noted the township switched insurance brokers to Dean Cass Inc.
Following the equipment report, the board approved a motion to dispose of Truck #1 (a 1998 Ford 7501) at auction. Trustee Lori Moller moved the disposal; Trustee Bill Schuld seconded. A voice vote recorded Anne Yes, Bill Yes, Lori Yes, Erin Yes and the motion passed.
