Lena board approves purchase of used public-works truck for excavator hauling
Summary
Trustee Dean Rood said the Village needs a truck to haul a mini-excavator; the board approved Ordinance 26-003 to purchase a used truck identified through Barkau.
The Village Board approved Ordinance 26-003 to purchase a used public-works truck capable of hauling a mini-excavator after Trustee Dean Rood described the operational need. Rood said he identified a truck at Barkau and, after researching options, determined it was the best deal for the Village; the measure passed unanimously.
"It is necessary to purchase a truck with hauling capability for a mini excavator," Rood explained before the vote. The board approved the ordinance on a motion by Rood and a second by Trustee Baldauf. The last public-works truck had been purchased in 1997, the board noted, framing this purchase as a long-overdue equipment replacement.
