MEMO
February 26, 2026
TO: Carolyn Brinkley, Town Manager
FR: Clifford Matthews Jr, Public Works Director
RE: Request for Approval - Purchase of Truck
The Department of Public Works is respectfully requesting authorization to purchase a new truck
equipped with a dump body and snowplow to replace a truck that is 12 years old. The
replacement of this vehicle will improve operational efficiency, reliability, and response time,
particularly during winter storm events. This truck will be utilized year-round for a variety of
public works functions, including snow and ice removal, road maintenance, and general
municipal operations.
At this time, the Department is seeking total project authorization in an amount not to exceed
$90,000, which will allow flexibility to obtain competitive pricing and ensure we secure the best
value for the Town. Final vendor selection will follow all applicable purchasing policies and
procedures.
Staff recommend paying for this vehicle using the approved FY26 operating budget.
MOTION
I MAKE A MOTION FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS TO PURCHASE A NEW TRUCK WITH
DUMP BODY AND SNOWPLOW, NOT TO EXCEED $90,000, USING FY26 OPERATING BUDGET.

MEMO
February 26, 2026
TO: Carolyn Brinkley, Town Manager
FR: Clifford Matthews Jr, Public Works Director
RE: Well 5 – Updating PLC Equipment
A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is a critical component of the Town’s water treatment
control system. It automates and regulates key treatment processes, allowing for real-time
monitoring and adjustment of operations such as pumps, valves, chemical dosing, and water
flow. The Town was made aware that our current PLC at Well 5 is not functioning at its full
capacity. This requires additional manual interference to help the plant run accordingly.
The Public Works Department requested a quote from Hungerford and Terry to replace the
old/obsolete equipment. This system and equipment are proprietary to the existing system.
This purchase was originally intended for a FY27 Capital Purchase, however, after consulting with
Finance, it was suggested to use interest funds in the current year enterprise fund checking
account to pay for this upgrade.
Staff recommend the purchase from Hungerford and Terry for $64,604.
Respectfully submitted for your consideration.
MOTION
I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF THE HUNGERFORD AND TERRY
PROPOSAL# 25-33675 IN THE AMOUNT OF $64,604 FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE PLC
EQUIPMENT AT WELL 5 USING THE CURRENT YEAR INTEREST FROM THE ENTERPRISE FUND
CHECKING ACCOUNT.
