NEW BUSINESS
PROCUREMENT OF SNOW PLOW TRUCK REPLACEMENT
Alderman Zenon Duda stated that all the Plow Truck that we have is in need of costly repairs and the money would be a waste to fix the truck. The truck that we have now the hydraulics are out that operates the plow and the salt spreader and the breaks and the power steering is also out. During the last meeting the Board of Alderman made the decision to remove the plow truck from our fleet and get a newer plow/spreader truck. Mayor Adam Bequette has been looking into different plow/ spreader trucks. He also contacted the Bank so see what our rates would be for a loan to pay for a new truck. The rates depend on the amount of money that the truck will be. We also plan on putting the truck on purple wave and using that money to help purchase a newer vehicle.
