Trustees authorize $24,990 expenditure for six-wheel drive public-works truck
Summary
The board approved spending $24,990 from general fund reserves to buy a six-wheel-drive replacement truck for Public Works to handle steep mountain roads and plowing; staff said the vehicle met capacity and transmission needs with lower hours than the current unit.
Public Works staff requested and trustees approved authorization to spend $24,990 from general fund reserves to purchase a six-wheel-drive replacement truck to serve mountain roads. Staff said the current F-750 is at the end of its serviceable life and the replacement offered better mileage, automatic transmission and six-wheel drive to handle steep terrain; the purchase price was described as the best of three competitive quotes.
Trustees discussed CDL requirements (the new vehicle does not require a commercial driver’s license) and the plan to auction the old truck after purchase. The board approved the expenditure by motion and voice vote.
