Summary
The Jury voted to stop leasing and buy two dump trucks at $82,000.00 each using AIO-tax funds; jurors recorded the trucks are under warranty through 2026. The motion was moved by Jerry Hicks and seconded by Dave Wilson.
The Madison Parish Police Jury approved using AIO-tax funds to purchase two dump trucks at a stated cost of $82,000.00 apiece, after the Superintendent recommended discontinuing leases and buying the trucks outright. The motion to purchase was offered by Jerry Hicks and seconded by Dave Wilson; upon roll call the recorded vote was four yeas, one absence, and the motion carried.
The Superintendent noted the trucks are currently under warranty until 2026. The record shows the decision reflects a shift from leasing to capital acquisition using available AIO revenue; jurors did not record additional amendments or financing details during the meeting.
