We bought the cab and chassis last year, a year ahead of schedule <br />but we were able to save $20,000 a piece on each cab and chassis. An order had come in from <br />CEI. They didn't collect the trucks so there were some cab and chassis that were available at a <br />discounted price. We grabbed two that we knew we were going to purchase this year. Now this <br />gets us to outfitting those cab and chassis with dump bodies and central hydraulics. <br />Council President Buckholtz stated, very good. Well done. Any further discussion? <br />Mr. Saponaro added, because we took advantage of the savings, we swapped budget items. <br />Mr. Metzung replied, yes. We took an item that we did not purchase last year, the new Service <br />drive. It was going to be done in conjunction with the Police Department project. The driveway <br />into the Police Department and Service Department need to be replaced. That was on last year's <br />schedule but with the timing of the Police Department the work did not get done last yeax, so we <br />took the money to purchase the cab and chassis last year.
