  Motion by Council Member Zittel, seconded by Council Member Drake,
to revise the agreement to spend highway funds. 5 voting aye, 0 nays. Carried.

c) Approval to purchase new Cab and Chassis 10-wheeler- Supt. Heim was at a Highway
Supt. Meeting a few months ago where the truck manufacturers came around and let
them know that there are going to be new levels of safety and emissions coming out on
all trucks. The price jump for these new levels as of August 1st will be a minimum of
$15,000 for just the emissions changes. The oldest truck at the Highway garage is 2012,
and the six by six is a 2015 which needs some work. Supt. Heim would like to sit down
at some point and discuss a plan for the four trucks they have. It would be good to get
them on an eight-year rotation-buy a new one every other year. If the new truck is
ordered now, but not picked up until next year, then the price jump will not take effect,
and it can get paid for out of next year’s budget.

  Motion by Supervisor Drozd, seconded by Council Member Krzemien, to
approve buying the truck with the Sourcewell bid price of $205,391.98, with delivery for
2027. Council Member Drake asked if this can be cancelled before delivery, and Supt.
Heim let him know that it can be cancelled before it is built. Council Member Drake said
at this time the balance of the B fund is unknown so purchasing the truck is going out on
a limb. Kaufman Utz had difficulty balancing the B fund at the end of last year. 5 voting
aye, 0 nays. Carried.

d) Wire generator install at Highway Garage-two quotes were obtained for this work.
Gerwitz and McNeil was $4,300 and Beres Electric was $13,225.

  Motion by Council Member Zittel, seconded by Council Member
Krzemien, to approve the wire generator install by Gerwitz and McNeil. 5 voting aye, 0
nays. Carried.
