The Westbrook Board of Selectmen voted unanimously Aug. 27 to purchase a used 2018 Elgin street sweeper for $50,000 from Chadwich-BaRoss. Selectman Chet Bialicki moved the purchase and Selectman Joe Campbell seconded; the motion passed without dissent.
A memo from John Riggio, Director of Public Works, explained the recommendation, noting the town’s current 2013 sweeper has accrued about 7,200 hours while the 2018 unit offered has only 2,700 hours and the dealer priced it at $50,000 after taking it as a trade-in. “I feel this is an opportunity we should not pass up,” the memo said. Finance Director Donna Castracane will review town accounts to determine the appropriate funding source, with the Capital Paving line identified in the memo as a likely option.
