Coming in as the second largest expense that the City Council is expected to spend is $169,990 for a new asphalt truck.

The compressed natural gas powered truck will be used by street maintenance crews to patch, repair and maintain the city’s streets, alleys, sidewalks and parking lots. It will replace a 1994 patch truck which is no longer cost effective to maintain, city staff said.
