Solon explores purchase of 10-wheel dump truck pending FEMA reimbursement
Summary
Highway staff updated the board that snow removal is ongoing, FEMA reimbursement is pending, and the town is exploring quotes for a new 10-wheel dump truck estimated at about $250,000 with a roughly $100,000 down payment and a one-year lead time if ordered without a plow.
Highway staff reported the town is keeping up with snow removal while awaiting FEMA reimbursement tied to recent storm work. The board discussed plans to obtain dealer quotes for a new 10-wheel dump truck; staff estimated the vehicle would cost about $250,000, with a down payment likely around $100,000 and an average delivery time of one year if ordered without a plow.
The purchase is not included in the current budget and staff said it would likely be funded from FEMA reimbursement when received. Highway noted the town has not purchased a new truck since 2007 and will bring more information to next month's meeting for further consideration.
