Board approves $205,641 purchase of 2025 dump truck after a dissenting vote
Summary
The board approved purchase of a 2025 International model dump truck at a stated price of $205,641.32; one member reiterated opposition and the vote was recorded with a dissent.
The Seneca Falls Town Board approved the purchase of a 2025 International HV607 SBA model dump truck, with the chair announcing the price as $205,641.32.
A council member stated they had opposed buying the truck originally and reiterated their opposition during the vote. The chair called for the vote, members voted in the affirmative and the purchase motion carried. During discussion the dissent was noted publicly by the member who said, "I wasn't in favor of buying it in the 1st place... so that's why I'm still avoiding against it." The meeting later referenced the outcome as a 3-to-1 vote on related personnel/action items in the meeting record.
The discussion did not include additional details on financing, trade-in allowances, or delivery timelines for the truck; those items were not specified on the record. The board moved on to subsequent agenda items after carrying the purchase.
