History
The 2012 Fiscal Year Budget has a Board approved line item in the amount of $100,000 for the purchase of a Ford F550 Cab-Chassis equipped with a Service Body and Crane. The cab-chassis truck is replacing a 1997 cab chassis with 82,623 miles and is of similar design and capacity. This vehicle is used by the Utility Division for maintenance of sanitary lift stations, pumping stations and other infrastructure needs.
