· DUMP TRUCK REPAIRS
Trustee Leonard reported that he had not received a written estimate for the dump truck repair that is currently at Stoyell’s. The Board requested Clerk Anne Riddell to contact Stoyell’s and obtain a written estimate for repair prior to the next regularly scheduled Board meeting. Trustee Leonard stated that he believed that the Village might want to consider keeping the dump truck that the Village currently has (at Stoyell’s) because it already has a plow on it. He continued that the Village could use the current one-ton (yellow) dump truck for the leaf truck since leaves are collected only three (3) months out of the year and sell or trade in the old leaf truck. The Board requested that the Mayor check with Mike D’Agustino to see if he might be interested in the old leaf truck.
The Board received a copy of a bid proposal from Mike D’Agostino Used Trucks & Equipment for a 1998 GMC Dump truck for $6,500.00. No action was taken.
