Purchase of service truck approved for Fannin County Transportation Department

The Fannin County Board of Education held a special called meeting on March 24th 2017.

First on the agenda was a request to purchase a service vehicle for the Fannin Transportation Department.  The request was made by Fannin County School System Transportation Director Benny Long,  Long recommended a 2002 International Century 614 wrecker body.  The vehicle will be purchased using surplus/scrap funds from within the transportation department at a cost of $37,500.

The truck should serve all the needs of the transportation department such as towing and service calls. Long addressed the Board and explained one of the goals from the surplus sale was to purchase a service truck.  There had been multiple discussions in regards to what kind of vehicle would serve the needs.  He knew he wanted tool storage, an air compressor, some way to lift if they needed to replace a flat tire, or to tow out of a sticky situation or tow in for repairs.  The Board approved the purchase of the truck so they will buy from Revelation Towing located in North Carolina.
