Meeting Minutes

TOWN OF HAMILTON SPECIAL MEETING THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 2022 Chairman Blaine Lee opened this special meeting on Thursday, March 31, 2022 at 7:00 p.m. for the purpose of discussing our 1-ton truck which is having a lot of issues at this time. Blaine Lee, Kevin Hoyer, Paul Degenhardt, Steve Knudson and Sara Schultz were in attendance. The blue book for the truck is currently $15,000 - $20,000. It was purchased with 87,000 miles approximately 6 years ago. The question to the board is do we fix it and/or purchase a new truck? Degenhardt motioned to repair the truck and Hoyer seconded the motion (the board must approve anything more than $5,000). Lee has researched the cost of a new 4500 Series truck from Sleepy Hollow and Pischke’s ($53,035 and $47,900 respectively). Boxes were priced at $19,220 - Sleepy Hollow, $21,772 – Universal and $15,810 – Michael’s. Degenhardt moved to approve purchasing the truck from Pischke’s and the box from Michael’s. Hoyer supported the motion with a second and it passed. ARPA FUNDS: The deadline to file the ARPA Project and Expenditure Report is April 30, 2022. There are multiple uses the money can be used for, but the clerk will watch the webinars and file the report before the deadline. Degenhardt motioned to adjourn the meeting at 7:45 p.m. and Hoyer seconded the motion. _______________________ Sara Schultz, Town Clerk
