Commissioner Bird noted that this was pretty well hashed out at budgettime; it is an approved purchase; and he felt we need to show a little faith in our Administrator's judgment that it is cost efficient to have this truck to provide this service. Chairman Scurlock felt he could vote in favor of the Motion if an analysis were done to see if there is a possibility of transferring this truck to another area and using a different one in this area. The Chairman called for the question. It was voted on and carried by a 4 to 1 vote, Commissioner Fletcher voting in opposition.
