SUPERVISOR WALTER-Supervisor Schuyler Martin asked to have a resolution passed allowing Justice Little to go to the Town of Chester Court to hear a matter...this is rather unusual because in this case the defendant wishes to be heard in the Chester Court and it is necessary to pass a resolution to allow one our Justices to travel out of town.

J DISCUSSION SUPERVISOR WALTER-The question here is Rodney has a certain amount of money budgeted for a truck and that included a trade in...so he is really looking at purchasing the truck with trade, in the meantime Peter Brault brought it to my attention that he could never buy a vehicle for $5000.00 to do the plowing here at the Town Hall and wondered if rather than taking the trade if he would be allowed to buy the vehicle at $5000.00 COUNCILMAN BORGOS-Asked if he had the money in his budget? SUPERVISOR WALTER-No, that is the problem. 2S COUNCILMAN BORGOS-Didn't he just buy a truck from the Highway Department and was this truck taking the place of that? SUPERVISOR WALTER-Yes, he would put that truck in an auction. PETER BRAULT-I would like to put the highway truck in our auction, as it will not hold up with the work we have to do and make a transfer in funds for the purchase of the Pine View truck. COUNCILMAN BORGOS-Why are we buying a new Cemetery truck? RODNEY MOSHER-PINE VIEW Superintendent, Its the perfect time to trade, if you wait till the truck is too old there is no trade in value and there is something wrong with the carburetor and it needs an adjustment, other than that it is sound. We need a truck we can depend on with all our plowing and moving of dirt. SUPERVISOR WALTER-I talked with Peter about the value and he assured me that there was no way we could ever pick up a truck for $5000.00 that was in the shape that this one is in. In Rod's situation with his capital they are continually updating so that their equipment is not that old. Asked Rod why the low bid was not taken.
