Contract between the Town of
Jim Davis went over the agreement between the Town and the
Township to purchase the aerial truck.
The Township has agreed to help pay for this vehicle. This has been done several times in the

helping to pay for trucks, Ellettsville would have a hard time purchasing them
because they are so expensive. The
Township has a large assessed value versus the Town. Jim has spoken with Don Lewis, Township
Trustee, who agreed with the contract.
Mike Spencer has already looked over the contract.
