Millerton approves two used truck purchases for highway department
Summary
Trustees authorized purchase of a 2015 Dodge Ram 3500, capped at $28,000 plus up to $4,000 in repairs, and a contingent purchase of a 2015 F350 not to exceed $26,598 pending a test drive and inspection.
The Millerton Board of Trustees approved two highway department vehicle purchases during the reorganizational meeting. Trustee Matt Soleau moved to buy a 2015 Dodge Ram 3500 at a maximum of $28,000 with the stipulation of a maximum of $4,000 in repair costs; Trustee David Sherman seconded the motion and the minutes record it as passing.
Separately, the board approved a contingent purchase of a 2015 F350 regular cab 8-foot bed from Litchfield Ford for a price not to exceed $26,598, contingent on a test drive and further inspection. The motion was recorded as made by Trustee Soleau and seconded by Deputy Mayor Matt Hartzog. During public comment, Kelly Kilmer suggested "using an auction website to view more options of trucks to purchase for the highway department," offering an alternative procurement approach that the board did not record as directing staff to pursue in this excerpt.
Both purchase approvals are recorded in the minutes as unanimous. The minutes do not include further procurement detail such as vendor selection process, warranty terms, or source of funds; those details will need to be confirmed with the clerk's office or in procurement files if required for fiscal review.
