The board also approved the completion of the Bradshaw Substation Upgrade totaling $220,000. The board discussed the possible approval of a 2023 Terex TL.48 bucket truck for the Line Department to replace the smaller bucket truck that is not functional at this time. The board has spoken with a dealership in regards to the price of the vehicle, but they have yet to formally receive those numbers. Once they receive that information it will be placed on the agenda for approval. There were no reports from committees, but Steve Winkleman did ask about the condition of the water tower due to the fire of the old Lumber Company building. At this time they are waiting for insurance to process everything before moving ahead with repairs to the water tower and the water barn that was also damaged in the fire. No closed session was held. The meeting adjourned at 5:55 PM.
