Action Items for Roll Call Vote
Board Chairman
The following items require board action and a roll call vote for approval.
14.A.
Purchase Dump Bed Truck
Jason Booher
Please find attached a list of quotes and bids received for the purchase of a dump bed truck for the district. This truck will serve multiple purposes, including the ability to add a plow and accommodate our current salt spreader. It will enhance the maintenance department’s capacity to manage parking lot upkeep during inclement weather, reducing the reliance on outside contractors for snow removal. Additionally, the truck will be valuable year-round for general maintenance tasks, as well as for the transportation and relocation of materials across district buildings.
To cover the cost of this truck without tapping into contingency funds, the district plans to submit a Capital Funds Request in the coming months. This will help offset payments for our general fund bonds and KISTA lease obligations, which are already accounted for in the general fund budget. By freeing up these resources, we can proceed with the purchase without negatively impacting our financial position.
