the old 1992 truck is dying
The highway department narrowly escaped injury twice this year, once
when a telephone pole collapsed landing wires on the plow truck and
again when the F550 was engulfed in flames when a hydraulic line
burst. The plow truck was repaired, but the F550 had to be replaced
using both insurance money and emergency surplus funds. Thankfully
there were no serious injuries and the road crew continues their
excellent service to the town.
The fire department also faced vehicle issues as the tired 1992 rescue
chassis smoked and leaked its way to calls A new truck has been
ordered using Capital Reserve Funds; this vehicle will use the same
rescue body. Until it arrives Chief Nelson will continue to bandage
the old '92 until her final call.
While both departments faced challenges in 2022, they also had some
unexpected rewards. The highway department received an additional
$70,911 highway block grant, and a $107,787 bridge grant. The fire
department was able to purchase a gear extractor and gear dryer for
the new fire station after receiving a $34,000 GOEFER grant.
