Board approves $97,693 refrigeration truck to reduce 18-wheeler deliveries and improve safety
Summary
Trustees authorized purchase of a refrigeration truck for the Child Nutrition Department at $97,693.25 to reduce reliance on 18-wheeler deliveries, improve safety, and use new Operations Center cooler/freezer capacity.
The Chapel Hill ISD Board approved the purchase of a new refrigeration truck for the Child Nutrition Department at a cost of $97,693.25 from Enterprise. Jaime Swanson, Director of Child Nutrition, presented the request, saying the truck will allow the District to stop using 18-wheeler deliveries at certain campuses and better utilize the Operations Center’s new walk-in cooler and freezer.
"The truck will allow the District to stop using 18-wheeler deliveries at certain campuses, which will significantly reduce safety risks for students and staff," the presentation record states. Trustee David Acker moved to approve the purchase; Fred Elder Jr. seconded and the motion passed 5–0 with two trustees absent. The board’s action authorizes procurement subject to standard purchasing procedures.
The record ties the purchase to safety and operational efficiency; the transcript does not list funding source or ongoing maintenance costs. Implementation will be managed by Child Nutrition and Operations departments.
