Council Minutes of 03-18-2014 going to take a Ford frame and mount that tree unit on top of it. Lambert said he cautioned Council before about selling the $10,000 truck. It could have been dismantled and the dump could have been sold. You're looking at $150,000 and he bets the first $100,000 is for the truck itself— the frame that was let go for $10,000. These are things that should be looked at very closely by the Finance Committee. Councilman Kearney said that there's no way a Ford F150 truck costs $100,000. Councilman Barker said he is willing to be dollars to donuts that the truck for $10,000 from the WWTP was probably on its last leg and wouldn't be salvageable to do anything. Lambert said since Barker bets dollars to dimes (Barker clarified it was donuts) and never asked a specific question as to the condition of the truck, he doesn't know and voted anyway. Barker said for $10,000 it couldn't have been worth crap. Mayor Kennedy explained that the Fleet Manager looks at these vehicles and if the city is selling them, he's sure the vehicles lived a couple lives. Gareau clarified that the truck is a Ford F750. Councilman Barker moved for adoption. The motion was seconded by Councilman Kearney and passed unanimously. Resolution 2014-21 adopted 5-0. Resolution 2014-22 was introduced and placed on first reading by Mayor Kennedy.
