Century eyes two new trucks

In a vote of 4 to 1, the Century Council voted at its Oct. 15 meeting approval to purchase two gasoline trucks for the town what will run on both regular gasoline and compressed natural gas (CNG).

The trucks approved for purchase are a 2018 Ram 3500 for $26,003 and a 2018 Ram 1500 for $22,893, a price that includes delivery and towing package.

The purchase was tabled at an earlier council meeting after Councilwoman Ann Brooks asked if purchasing diesel trucks instead of gas trucks might be more cost-effective and requested research to determine if it would.
