In other business, Assistant Police Chief Matthew Emenhiser asked the board to seek quotes for three new vehicles to be purchased with funds already figured in the department’s 2024 budget. That request was approved with a unanimous vote.
Additionally, Street Department Superintendent Jim Marquardt asked to seek quotes for several items to be purchased with funds in the department’s 2024 budget. He noted that it could take quite a while to get quotes for some pieces of equipment. He said he will getting quotes on a three-quarter ton pick-up, a large dump truck, a bed replacement on a dump truck, among other items. He said the market for a large dump truck may not allow for a quote this year. If that is the case, he will look at other avenues in order to procure the items requested. The board approved Marquardt’s request with a unanimous vote.
