Truck purchase approved by council
Posted
The Town Council has approved up to $54,428 for the purchase of a new light-duty pick-up truck to be used by the Fountain Hills Rural/Metro Fire Chief.
The vehicle is being purchased through a cooperative purchase agreement with Larry Miller Ford. The funding is from the town’s vehicle replacement fund, which was established to set criteria for replacing vehicles as well as maintaining available funds.
Light duty trucks are scheduled for replacement at 10 years or 100,000 miles. The current vehicle is 10 years old.
Policy calls for vehicles being replaced to be sent to auction with proceeds to be returned to the VRF, however, Fire Chief Dave Ott has indicated they would like to keep the older vehicle in a reserve status.
The council vote was 6-0 in favor of the purchase with Vice Mayor Art Tolis absent.
