Board discusses purchase of used 2024 Chevy 3500; motion recorded as passed

Board members discussed authorizing the highway department to purchase a used 2024 Chevy 3500 equipped with a plow and salter that showed 26,500 miles, offered by How's Lawn and Landscape. A board speaker estimated savings from buying used rather than new: "We're saving somewhere between 31 and 36,000 by purchasing used versus new." The board indicated it would need a motion to authorize the purchase and a motion was made; later in the record a member says the motion passes.

The board also discussed declaring a 2008 Chevy dump truck surplus if the used purchase is completed and considered Auction International as a disposal option. Members did not provide a detailed sale plan or a final listing price for surplus equipment during this meeting. The transcript records motions and seconds but does not include a full roll-call vote tally for the purchase or the surplus declaration.
