During the April 20, 2026 meeting, Commission President Sean McHugh presented a 2026 Chevrolet Colorado pickup for consideration to replace the aging, unreliable vehicle used by the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP).

While all Commissioners agreed a WWTP-dedicated vehicle is necessary, they opted to table the purchase to allow more research and options, leaving the specific vehicle and vendor undecided.
