Committee Reports
Councilmember Teeple - Absent
Highway: The Highway Department has continued to respond to winter weather issues.
The Highway Superintendent proposed the purchase of a BOSCH Scan tool. Today the vehicles used by Highway are identified by code. For diagnostic information or to set engine parameters the HD has had to go to a facility (Syracuse) where the vehicle can be scanned. This "in house" capability will eliminate that cost of time and mileage and can be used by Huron, Rose and Wolcott. The cost will also be split between the three Towns. The money is in the HD budget. Councilmember Cahoon said this would pay for itself over time. Councilmember Reyn said it would be handy tool to have. The HD will be trained in the use of the system.
He would also like to purchase a new Asphalt Roller; they have been using CAT from Sodus but the Monroe Tractor quote looks better and will last forever. This will save lugging the 10 ton CAT around: He would also like to purchase a trailer for use around town for serviceability is better with the brand new machine. Quote - CAT $27,702, Bomag $31,614 and Hamm $33,000.
