Council approves sanitation truck, backup generator and discusses CD to fund fire truck
Summary
The council approved purchasing a rental sanitation truck and a backup generator for Fire Station No. 2 and discussed placing $150,000 in a six-month CD to fund a future fire truck purchase.
During the meeting the council voted to approve several procurement items. Item C — approval to purchase a rental sanitation truck — was moved by "Alderman Alton" and seconded by "Alderman Small"; roll call produced affirmative votes and the presiding official declared, "That motion carries."
Item D — approval to purchase a backup generator for Fire Station No. 2 — was approved and will be paid from the general fund balance. The council also discussed Item E: moving $150,000 from the general fund into a six-month certificate of deposit at CBNS Bank at 3.34% to go toward purchase of a fire truck; staff said two banks responded and the item will be included in final July 26 budget amendments.
