The one-ton cab and chassis with a dump truck and plows will be purchased from Rice Ford for $26,276 and from W.A. Jones for $14,343 for a total of $40,619.
The vehicle will replace a 1997 Chevrolet one-ton dump truck with 73,671 miles that has rusted floor board, the cab is coming apart and the frame is rusted and the bed is rotted.
Also during the meeting the board approved Warsaw Parks Department accepting a $3,658 grant from Indiana Arts Commission to be used to support the Central Park Concert Series.
The council approved a $3,276.82 contract between the Warsaw Wastewater Utility department and Sands Office Equipment for a copier to be purchased for the department.
Also approved was an agreement between the city and Warsaw Housing Authority. The agreement allows WHA to collect and monitor certain funds payable through promissory notes and secured mortgages resulting from the Warsaw Owner Occupied Programs.
The board approved the city administering $7,000 that will be used as a matching money for a Community Block grant.
Housing Opportunities of Warsaw will apply for a grant in 2014 to assist with housing development along the Market Street corridor.
