Other Business
The Motor Vehicle budget proposes total 2026 expenditures of $166,988, up sharply from $152,182 (amended 2025), driven by a Vehicle Maintenance increase to $26,000 (from $13,000 in 2025) attributed to new trucks, and $20,000 budgeted for Plow Truck Hydraulics/salt belt repairs. Streetlighting costs remain steady at $17,000 for both amended 2025 and proposed 2026.
