VECTOR TRUCK
Wastewater Treatment Plant Director Crawford told the Board that he and the Mayor visited the Owensboro,
Regional Sewer Authority to look at a used vactor truck that Deeds Equipment in Owensboro is selling for th
Authority.
This truck is comparable to a new vector truck that EMC had recommended, which would cost
approximately $265,000.00. Owensboro's used truck can be purchased for $158,000.00. It has only
20,000 miles usage and has been exceptionally well maintained. Director Crawford said that in his
opinion, purchasing this used truck would be a unique opportunity to purchase a vector truck at a
substantial savings to the City. Engineer Miller made the motion to approve EMC purchasing the used
vector truck from Deeds Equipment, seconded by Councilperson Franz and carried unanimously. The
truck will be delivered about two (2) months from purchase.
There being no further discussion to come before the Board the motion was made by Councilperson
