Committee approves $750,000 purchase of two Western Star dump trucks; chair says county will bond the purchase
Summary
The board authorized purchase of two Western Star dump trucks with plow equipment for $750,000 and the chair said the county intends to bond for the purchase and include it in the budget.
The Columbia County Finance Committee approved Resolution No. 26, authorizing the purchase of two Western Star dump trucks with plow equipment for $750,000 under an Onondaga County Purchasing contract. The motion was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote.
During the discussion the chair remarked, “I just wanna make a statement that we're bonding to do those 2, and I think they should be in the budget,” indicating the county plans to finance the purchase through bonding and to include the expense in upcoming budget planning. The transcript does not record a roll-call tally or additional financing details.
The purchase was presented as a routine capital procurement and carried with little debate. The action assigns implementation responsibility to Public Works for execution of the contract and equipment delivery arrangements.
