allows the town to auction the old tractor prior to full payment being required. After some revisions to the contract,
the full price was less than the original quote. Motion by Nickel, second by Sweatt to approve the purchase of the
John Deere tractor with the cost change and payment plan proposed. Motion carried (5-0)
