Board approves purchase of three maintenance trucks from GEO bond funds
Summary
Mister Stevenson told the board the district plans to replace three aging maintenance vehicles; the packet listed a total price of $179,840 and the board approved the purchase to be paid from available GEO bond funds (about $300,000) by voice vote, 4-0.
During old-business updates, Mister Stevenson briefed the board on a planned replacement of three maintenance trucks currently described as 1999, 2006 and 2009 models.
He told the board the district worked with Larkin Greenwood Ford (Cartersville) on the specifications and that the packet listed the total price as $179,840, to be paid from the district's GEO bond funds (the packet showed about $300,000 available in that bond fund). Mister Stevenson said the district aims to support maintenance staff with reliable vehicles that will last multiple years.
Mister Stevenson moved to approve purchase of the three new trucks; the chair called for a voice vote and the motion passed, recorded as 4-0. Board members discussed disposing of retired vehicles by auction rather than trade-in, noting Richmond's recent online auction experience as an example.
