From the meeting
At its October 21, 2026 meeting the council considered buying a 2013 114SD Freightliner for Public Works. Public Works Director Philip Willey identified the truck for $59,500 and noted it included a stainless-steel all-season body, plow, and wing. The town planned to trade in a 2000 Sterling, a 2003 Volvo plow truck, and a backhoe, leaving $20,000 due and funding it with $9,520 from scrap metal recycling plus $10,480 from the Public Works reserve account.
Decision state: staff requested approval to purchase the truck.
