B) CONSIDER THE PURCHASE OR REPLACEMENT OF 2 RESIDENTIAL
SANITATION TRUCKS
Mayor Elumbaugh said the lease of two residential sanitation trucks were up this
month and he said Sanitation Supervisor Marty Thompson thought it was the
council's wish to purchase the trucks instead of turning them in for new ones.
Ms. Johnston said the purchase price is $67,912.50 per truck for a total of
$135,825.00. She said the budget reflected continuing on with the lease
program and not purchasing so it is not budgeted for. After a discussion, the
council said to visit with Mr. Thompson to see if he would rather purchase or
continue leasing. If he wants to purchase, the council instructed the Mayor to call
the local banks for the best interest rate.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, Councilmember Krug moved that the meeting
be adjourned. Councilmember Insell seconded and all voted for.
