Item #3 on the Agenda: Discussion/Action to Purchase 1997 Ford
1-Ton Truck that belong to Capitan-Carrizozo Natural Gas
Street Supervisor, Johnathan LaMay, address the Mayor and Trustees
about purchasing the Ford truck. Johnathan stated the truck was a
good truck; it does need new tires. He stated it would make a
good salt spreading truck and could be used to plow snow.
Johnathan said using the truck that the plow is mounted on now will
eventually tear up the truck, and it is the newest truck the Village
has. Shirley Pavlovic stated the Village has not heard anything
more from the man who was looking for a dump truck for the
Village. If the dump truck was put on hold, then the money is
available to purchase this truck and salt spreader. After
discussing the possibilities for the use of the truck and the amount to
offer Carrizozo, Trustee Payne made the motion to go for it if we have
the money, and Shirley said we could use the money to rob Peter to pay
Paul, with a limit of $1000 and start out with $800. Trustee
Riska seconded the motion. Roll Call: Trustee Payne-yes,
Trustee Riska-yes, Trustee Wood-yes.
