Board approves $40,000 equipment purchase from auction for paver and roller
Summary
A highway equipment purchase from Auctions International — a paver and roller at an anticipated $40,000 — was approved by the board using equipment fund balance, with the board agreeing to increase the equipment line accordingly.
The board agreed to pursue an auction purchase of a paver and roller being sold on Auctions International and approved using fund balance to finance an anticipated $40,000 purchase. Chair reviewed the background and asked for a motion; after discussion about the equipment line and available fund balance the motion to proceed was moved and approved.
Chair said the paver and roller presented a timely opportunity for the public works effort and recommended funding it from the equipment fund balance. Discussion noted the town has money available in the equipment line and the board chose not to use CHIP funds for the purchase, preferring to put more money into paving operations in coming years.
