Transmission problems and a well-used street department truck were discussed at the Chillicothe City Council meeting. The City has two trucks that have transmission problems.
During the meeting, the council approved buying a transmission for one of the trucks.
The other transmission will come from a truck that is well-used and needs to be replaced.
The Council approved the purchase of a NEW 2024 truck chassis and the equipment needed to have it ready for the winter plow season. The truck will be purchased through a cooperative and does not require bids. The total cost is estimated at under $98,000. That truck should be ready in about six weeks.
