Ladd Board authorizes up to $70,000 for new Public Works pickup truck
Summary
The Ladd Village Board authorized up to $70,000 to purchase a 2026 Ford F-250 (or equivalent) for Public Works to be paid from the clearing account; the motion carried unanimously and trustees asked for a village vehicle inventory and rust protection consideration.
The village authorized the purchase of a new Public Works pickup truck on Jan. 13, approving up to $70,000 for a quoted 2026 Ford F-250 or a vehicle with identical equipment and pricing.
Trustee Bernie Victor moved and Trustee Dan Nelson seconded the motion to authorize the purchase, which the Board agreed could be paid in full from the clearing account without financing. The motion carried with all trustees voting aye. Trustee Victor also requested the development of a comprehensive inventory of Village-owned vehicles and projected replacement timelines to assist long-term budgeting; Trustee Nelson suggested applying a rust-protection coating to the new truck.
The authorization follows review of new and used truck bids; Sutton Commercial and Fleet provided the quote dated Dec. 29, 2025. The Board did not attach financing to the purchase and directed staff to proceed within the $70,000 authorization.
