5.7 Operations Truck
Dr. Bryan Perry, Superintendent
5 minutes

The corporation is in need of a new heavy duty pickup.  The current truck Mr. Angermeier drives has high mileage and is requiring more maintenance to keep it moving.  The new truck would give us 2 trucks that can help with snow removal and towing.  The current truck would be kept for use at the high school extending its life.  The Toyota, currently at the high school, is nearing the end of its useful life.   The Dodge van and Dodge pick up are at the end of their useful life and need to be retired.  We ask for permission to purchase a new heavy duty pick up truck for $50,000 or less and salvage the Dodge van and pickup. 

Minutes

Benson Davenport made a motion to approve the purchase within the presented parameters, along with the salvage of the Dodge van and Dodge pickup.  Eric Harper seconded the motion, and the action passed on a vote of 6-0.

Result: Approved
